摘要:The enactment of MGNREGA is a great milestone in the constitutional history of India. It ensures 100 days of unskilled work to the rural workforce of the country. The objective behind the Act was the eradication of rural poverty and unemployment thereby achieving rural empowerment. The present study was conducted in the Mangalapuram Gramapanchayat of Thiruvananthapuram district, Kerala to evaluate the role of MGNREGA on women empowerment. Both primary and secondary data sources were used in the study. A detailed questionnaire survey was conducted to collect primary data on MGNREGA and its role in the women’s life. Results demonstrate that MGNREGA has a crucial role in social, economic, political, and educational empowerment of women.
