AI-generated practice question — model-generated for extra practice, not a previous-year CBSE board question.
By Ownership: MGNREGA is administered by the public sector — it is a government-run programme funded and implemented by the state.
By Employment Conditions: The beneficiary workers (landless labourers, small/marginal farmers) belong to the unorganised sector — they have no job security, fixed wages, or legal protections.
Relationship: The two classification systems are independent but complementary. A public sector programme can directly target unorganised sector workers. This shows that government (public sector) intervention is necessary to protect and support the vulnerable unorganised workforce, as the private sector does not adequately address their needs.

Examiners expect students to correctly apply both classification criteria (ownership → public/private; employment conditions → organised/unorganised) and then draw a meaningful link. The key insight is that these are two separate axes — public vs. private does not equal organised vs. unorganised. MGNREGA is the textbook's own example of government support for unorganised workers, so naming it shows direct chapter knowledge. Avoid writing more than 3–4 sentences per point at this mark level.
