Correct Answer - Option 2 : 2005

The correct answer is 2005.

  • Mahatma Gandhi Employment Guarantee Act 2005 which later given a new name, the "Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act" or MGNREGA is Indian labor law and social safeguard measure that aims to guarantee the 'right to work'.
  • This act was permitted in September 2005 under the UPA government of Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh.
  • Its objective was to intensify the livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

  • The act was first proposed in 1991 by then Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao.
  • It was finally acknowledged in the parliament and commenced implementation in 625 districts of India.
  • Based on this pilot involvement, NREGA was scoped up to cover all the districts of India from 1 April 2008.
  • The statute was called out by the government as "the largest and most ambitious social security and public works programme in the world".
  • In its World Development Report 2014, the World Bank mentioned it as a "stellar example of rural development".
