Abstract

Livelihood security has remained a challenge to drag the rural masses out of the poverty, especially the weaker and marginal sections of the society. MG NREGA has been enacted with a view to providing livelihood security to people residing in rural areas by means of unskilled wage employment for atleast for 100 days to each household. The implementation of MG NREGS has positively affected the lives of rural folk in different dimensions. The paper analyses the three dimensions viz. employment generation, accrual of income and livelihood support in three selected development blocks of district Sirmour, HP. The study has been undertaken on the basis of web hosted official data with its analysis on the aforesaid three dimensions, findings and suggestions for extending livelihood support to the deserving population in future.
