The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), initiated in 2005, stands as a landmark legislation in India's pursuit of rural poverty alleviation and livelihood enhancement. This review paper delves into the historical context, objectives, and evolutionary trajectory of MGNREGA, emphasizing its transition from traditional welfare schemes to a rights-based approach. Guaranteeing a minimum of 100 days of wage employment annually to every rural household willing to undertake public work, MGNREGA aims at multifarious goals including poverty reduction, gender parity, durable asset creation, and sustainable rural development. While the act has been instrumental in empowering marginalized communities and fortifying rural infrastructure, it grapples with challenges related to implementation, wage disparities, and awareness. The paper synthesizes findings from various studies, offering a comprehensive insight into MGNREGA's impact, achievements, and areas necessitating attention. Through this review, we underscore the significance of continuous assessment and adaptation of MGNREGA to harness its full potential and meet its overarching objective of fostering sustainable rural growth.
