Abstract

Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA was initially implemented as National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) in 200 selected backward districts in India on February 2, 2006. It was extended to an additional 130 districts with effect from April 1, 2007. Later, the remaining 285 districts were covered from April 1, 2008. The National Rural Employment Guarantee (Amendment) Act, 2009 renamed NREGA as MGNREGA. The main objectives of MGNREGA scheme to solve the unemployment problems of unskilled workers, seasonal workers and development of villages in India. So far the Bihar and Jharkhand states are concerned, both states are facing the similar problems particularly unemployment, rural backwardness, lo per capita income, poor education & health and lack of banking knowledge. During my study, I observed that MGNREGA scheme can solve many rural problems of both states Bihar and Jharkhand after modifications of some rules and demerits of implementation of MGNREGA Scheme. I think my Study will show a better path to improve the economical development of both states Bihar and Jharkhand as well as improve per capita income of unskilled workers and rural development through MGNREGA Scheme.
