Journal Title: JOURNAL OF COMMERCE AND TRADE - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
The Purpose of this paper is to highlight the impact of women empowerment through MGNREGA. Overall preliminary finding confirm that the MGNREGA has the potential to stimulate local development, if the management and delivery are good, and that women's weak position in the labor market has been greatly helped. The national Rural Employment guarantee act (MGNREGA) was part of the commitments made by the united Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in its Common Minimum Programme and came in to force in February 2006-initially in 200 selected districts, at one each one state .it has been hailed as a landmark and has attracted national and international attention .it has diverse objectives. On the other hand, through providing guarantee employment in rural areas, it also seeks to improve labor market outcomes. This paper reviews India's approach to social protection since independence and places the NREGA within the broader social protection discourse. It looks at how gender concerns have been addressed within public works, and specifically in the MGNREGA guidelines.
