Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme ensures 100 days of employment in a year in rural areas.

Explanation:

The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) guarantees at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to one member of every rural household willing to do unskilled manual work.
