Question

Why do you think MGNREGA 2005 or Viksit Bharat-G RAM G 2025 is referred to as ‘Right to work’?

Answer 1

MGNREGA 2005 or Viksit Bharat-G RAM G 2025 is referred to as ‘Right to work’ because they make employment a legally enforceable right rather than a charitable welfare scheme. Under these laws, the government is legally mandated to provide guaranteed wage employment for 100 days under MGNREGA 2005 and 125 days under VB-G RAM G 2025, to any rural adult who demands unskilled manual work. If the administration fails to provide a job within 15 days of application, the worker is legally entitled to a daily unemployment allowance. This legal accountability ensures that livelihood security is a fundamental right backed by law.
