Gujarat Sees Sharp Decline in MGNREGS

The state of Gujarat has experienced a substantial decrease in the number of jobs, workers, and funding under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) over the past five years. This decline is a matter of concern as MGNREGS is a crucial program aimed at providing employment to rural households. The reduction in jobs and funding may exacerbate rural unemployment and poverty in the state. Gujarat's rural areas are likely to be severely impacted by this decline, affecting the livelihoods of thousands of workers who depend on MGNREGS for their income.
