Abstract :

 MGNREGA was introduced as a flagship programme to provide Employment and Empowerment of weaker sectionsSCs, STs, OBCs, Minorities and Women. The document argues for inclusion of these sections of society to participate 

in process of Economic Development. It emphasizes on providing guaranteed additional employment with minimum 
pay which is on par with wages of unskilled labour and in some states better than those wages. By providing additional 100 days employment 
it enables them to afford quality of life in terms of accessing socio–economic opportunities and meeting their utility desires. This paper tries to 
understand how MGNREGA enables inclusive development. An attempt is made to analyse whether the programme is really enabling Inclusive 
Economic Development using simple statistical tools. The study found that MGNREGA has made significant impact on the lives of backward 
communities and in the process making them part of Economic Development.
