Since independence, Government of India has introduced several programs with the aim of preventing migration from rural to urban areas, generating adequate employment opportunities and creating durable assets and infrastructure facilities in rural areas. One such major milestone program is MGNREGA introduced in February 2006 with the main objective of enhancing the livelihood security in rural areas through providing 100 employment guarantee days with minimum wage for every rural household who are willing to do unskilled manual work. This study investigates that how does the MGNREGA program impact on migration and employment in rural areas in Ranga Reddy district, Telangana State. It also discusses features of migration households and the performance of MGNREGA program at grass root level. The MGNREGA is the flagship welfare programme of the UPA Government and the largest of its Kind in India.
