The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee act or (MGNREGA) was notified in India on August 2005 with a mandate to produce a minimum of hundred days of guaranteed wage employment during a twelvemonth to each rural household whose members above the age of eighteen years volunteer to try to to unskilled manual work. The most focus of the act is to facilitate the social protection for the people living in rural India by providing employment opportunities and thus contributing towards the general development of the local people. This study was attempted to work out the impact of MGNREGA on overall economic and social development of beneficiaries in various district of Bihar. The study was allotted within the disaster affected various areas of Bihar with beneficiaries as respondents. The event of Bihar remain a matter of concern to the policy makers because the people of the Bihar face challenges like unemployment, poverty and migration. The introduction of wage programmes like MGNREGA within the area have helped to supply a thrust to the event process and may therefore be termed as a boon for the agricultural people thanks to its demand oriented approach which makes the authorities responsible and likewise as in control of providing employment to individuals. The manual work has to create sustainable assets that promote the economic and infrastructure development of villages. Implemented in three phases beginning in 2006, the Act extended to any or all of rural India in April 2008.
