Abstract: In this paper, an attempt is made to assess the extent to which Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) has succeeded in making a positive impact so far as women's participation, social equity and financial inclusion in rural India is concerned and to highlight the issues in the implementation of this scheme. Alongside it gives a brief account of the suggestions given by the World Bank and CAG and also the recent initiatives undertaken by GoI for the smooth functioning of MGNREGS. Being the world’s largest democracy India should make its efforts for improving the lives of the deprived and the vulnerable sections of the society through effective implementation of centrally sponsored schemes like MGNREGS in its quest for becoming a true welfare state.
