What is the main objective of MGNREGA?
Correct Answer: D — Provide 100 days of guaranteed wage employment
Explanation:
The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) aims to provide at least 100 days of wage employment in rural areas to people willing to do unskilled manual labor. This helps reduce poverty, provide economic security, and develop rural infrastructure. It also prevents distress migration to cities by ensuring work is available in villages.
