Title A name given to the resource SOCIAL PROTECTION THROUGH MGNREGS: A STUDY OF RAYALASEEMA REGION IN ANDHRA PRADESH Subject The topic of the resource MGNREGS; Rayalaseema; Social Protection; Welfare Transfer Description An account of the resource This article attempts to explain how far MGNREGS provides social protection for marginal and disadvantaged sections. To study this, the present paper focuses on backward regions that are in dire need of government support through welfare measures. The bottom sections of society should be given priority while implementing different social welfare schemes like employment guarantee, food security, pensions, scholarships, etc. In this context, this article aims at analysing the role of MGNREGS in providing social protection for different sections of society. The role of MGNREGS can be understood through employment and income generated by the households participated. How many rural households depend on MGNREGS for employment? How much employment was generated under MGNREGS in the backward regions? What is the contribution of MGNREGS to the household income? To what extent is MGNREGS providing social protection to the rural poor compared to other welfare schemes? The present article explores answers to these questions with reference to the Rayalaseema, one of the most backward regions in Andhra Pradesh. 2022 National Institute of Rural Development.
