"The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) also known as National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) in Indian Legislation was brought into being in 2005. It provides a legal guarantee for one hundred days of employment in every financial year to adult members of any rural household willing to do public work-related unskilled manual work at the statutory minimum wage in view of improving the purchasing power of the rural people chiefly semi unskilled work to people living below poverty line in rural India.

The book encompasses almost the entire aspects of NREGA in a very comprehensive way including its legal and other aspects with case studies." (jacket)
