Rural poverty is rising in a variety of ways, causing individualities to live in poverty. People in rural areas have inferior life prospects, as substantiated by casing, education, nutrition, and health. The initiative aims to lower the consumption poverty headcount ratio by 10%, raise the real wage rate of unskilled employees to 20%, and create 70 million new job possibilities. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) aims to improve livelihood security by giving at least 100 days of guaranteed wage employment every financial year to each family whose adult member volunteer to perform unskilled manual work. Later it was renamed as the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). The MGNREGA scheme's major feature is to offer basic workplace amenities like as drinking water, shade, a first-aid box, and a crèche. This scheme focuses on inclusive growth, natural resource rejuvenation, generating productive assets, protecting the environment, empowering rural women, and reducing rural-urban migration, with the multiple objectives of sustaining income and consumption through wage work, and creating durable assets. This research focuses on the MGNREGA's effectiveness in decreasing poverty by identifying the advantages and obstacles associated with its implementation. The study indicates that the MGNREGA scheme has decreased poverty in the study area by offering improved work opportunities.
