Objectives of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act 2005:

It aims to enhance livelihood security in rural areas by providing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to at least one member of every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.
Women are guaranteed half of the jobs made available under the MGNREGA.
Another aim of MGNREGA is to create durable assets (such as roads, canals, ponds and orchards).
Employment is to be provided within 5 km of an applicant’s residence, and minimum wages are to be paid.
Employment under MGNREGA is a legal entitlement.
Apart from providing economic security and creating rural assets, other things said to promote NREGA are that it can help in protecting the environment, empowering rural women, reducing rural-urban migration and fostering social equity, among others.
