Abstract
Dearth of off-farm activities in rural areas is a stumbling-block for our villagers who mostly depend on agriculture. Moreover, in the absence of any developmental activities, our rural areas mostly remain under-developed with no scope for income generation from such areas. As such, most of the labourers migrate to the urban areas in search of jobs. This further deteriorates the problem of over-crowded urban areas, leaving no scope for development of rural areas. The MGNREGA is intended to address the problem of rural-urban migration of workforce by giving gainful employment to the rural workers. Under this backdrop, the present chapter endeavours to examine as to how far the MGNREGA is successful in checking the problem of rural-urban migration of labourers in the districts under study.
