Explain the objective of implementing the MG NREGA 2005.
The primary objective of implementing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005 (MGNREGA 2005) was to implement the Right to Work in about 625 districts of India. It aims to provide employment as a short-term measure for those in need.
The Act guarantees 100 days of employment in a year to all those who are able to and need work in rural areas. If the government fails to provide this employment, it provides unemployment allowances to the people.
Furthermore, the Act focuses on creating sustainable assets. It gives preference to types of work that would help increase production from land in the future, thereby supporting the rural economy.
Explanation
The answer is based on the textbook context which explicitly states that the central government made the law to implement the 'Right to Work'. It details the guarantee of 100 days of employment for those in need in rural areas and the provision of unemployment allowances if the government fails to provide work. The context also highlights that the Act prefers work that increases production from land.
