Abstract


In the recent times, the government initiated various programmes to change the trajectory of development model and make it more inclusive and pro- poor oriented. The programmes like, mid-day meal, National Rural Health Mission , Bharat Nirman and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) were initiated in order to ensure that growth is evenly distributed and tried to revive the rural economy which was neglected by liberalisation policies. In this context the present paper is an attempt to locate and contextualise NREGA, within a rights discourse to have an analytical understanding.
