Abstract
The most significant rural development initiative of the Eleventh Plan period was the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA)it includes Sustainability of Economy, Agriculture, Forest, Income, Health and many more ideals and principles of rural development. The goals of MGNREGA are to provide strong safety-net for vulnerable groups by providing a fallback employment when alternative employment sources are scarce or inadequate. It acts as a growth engine for sustainable development of agriculture economy and empowerment of rural poor through the process of rights-based law and new ways of doing occupation. MGNREGA not only provide wage employment as an alternative source of livelihood but also create durable assets such as road construction, land development, water conservation and irrigation facility, which has tremendous influence on different sectors of village economy.
