    Solution

    Mahatma Gandhi Employment Guarantee Act of 2005 (later renamed as the "Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act", MGNREGA), is Indian labour law and social security measure that aims to guarantee the 'right to work'. This act was passed in September 2005. Its main aim is to provide employment to the unemployed. It provides social protection to the most vulnerable people living in rural India by giving them employment opportunities. (i.e. the main objective of MNREGA is to enhance livelihood security.) The MGNREGA began with the objective of "enhancing livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of the guaranteed wage employment in a financial year, to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work". It also enhances the creation of productive assets and ensures empowerment to women.
