Answer 1

Correct Answer: MGNREGA

Solution : The correct answer is a) MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act).

MGNREGA is a government program in India that aims to provide employment and livelihood security to rural households. It guarantees 100 days of wage employment per year to every rural household whose adult members are willing to do unskilled manual work.

Under the MGNREGA program, rural households can participate in public works projects such as construction of roads, water conservation, land development, and other infrastructure development activities. The program is designed to enhance rural livelihoods, reduce poverty, and promote rural development by providing employment opportunities and income support to rural communities.

MGNREGA was enacted in 2005 and is one of the largest employment generation programs in the world. It has been instrumental in providing income support and creating employment opportunities for millions of rural households in India.
