Question : The "Urban Employment Guarantee Programme" aims to provide employment opportunities in urban areas for how many days in a year?
Option 1: 50 days
Option 2: 100 days
Option 3: 150 days
Option 4: 200 days
Correct Answer: 100 days
Solution :
The correct answer is (b) 100 days
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) guarantees 100 days of wage employment in a financial year for rural households. However, there has been discussion and proposals for extending a similar employment guarantee to urban areas as well, but as of now, it has not been implemented on a national level. Please note that there may have been developments or changes since my last update, so it's always a good idea to refer to the latest information from official government sources.
