The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) was introduced in India in 2005 with the goal of providing livelihood security in rural areas by guaranteeing 100 days of wage employment. This paper investigates the impact of MGNREGS on employment generation and poverty alleviation in Maharashtra, using statistical data from secondary data. The study shows that MGNREGS has created millions of person-days of employment, contributed to rural infrastructure development, and reduced poverty levels. The paper also highlights challenges in the scheme’s implementation, with a focus on the need for improved monitoring and governance mechanisms.
