With the NREGA scheme, India embarked on an ambitious attempt to battle poverty by guaranteeing employment to those who demand it. The scheme also aims to transform rural areas by improving the quality of life through guaranteed minimum wages and capital formation within rural economies, thereby redressing poverty and boosting overall national development.

This book focuses on the positive impacts NREGA has brought to households through the wage payments availed by its beneficiaries. It examines the scheme's effect on the overall quality of life by assessing various improvement indicators. These include economic condition, purchasing power, consumption of food and non-food items, health and nutrition, children's education, creation of household and cultivable assets, social participation in community events and organizations, and impact on out-migration.

Findings reveal that NREGA has brought significant changes to beneficiaries' lives, especially by enhancing their purchasing power and altering consumption patterns for the better.
