MGNREGA 2005 Guarantee:
Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005, all rural households whose adult members are able to work and need employment are guaranteed 100 days of employment in a year by the government.

Responsibility for Implementation:
The central government is responsible for implementing this Act. If the government fails to provide employment, it must pay unemployment allowances to the people. The Act gives preference to work that will help increase production from land in the future.

• The examiner expects three clear points for 3 marks: (1) who is covered, (2) the guarantee of 100 days, and (3) the consequence if the government fails (unemployment allowance).
• Avoid writing "MGNREGA" without first expanding the abbreviation — examiners reward use of the full name.
• The phrase "Right to Work" is the key concept here; the Act is called so because it legally guarantees work, not just promises it.
