Chapter Chapter 5 in Inclusive Development Through Guaranteed Employment, 2023, pp 89-121 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The MGNREGA has promoted inclusive growth and development by generating additional employment in the economy and by transferring cash income to the rural poor. It has created a massive number of productive assets that have promoted livelihoods in the local area. It has strengthened rural and agrarian infrastructure and triggered multiplier and acceleration effects in the economy. Much of the benefits of the MGNREGA, be it additional income generation, poverty reduction, check on distress migration and reduction in consumption-led indebtedness, has concentrated in the most marginalised rural population, viz. SCs, STs and women, and landless casual labour. Though the benefits of community assets are skewed in favour of assets-owners, yet the rural poor have also gained by the overall increase in economic activities in the local area.
