Abstract: We are living in a world of changes. May it be change in the socio-economic conditions or the climate? Both these changes have a severe impact on people residing in villages of India who mostly rely on their agricultural way of living. In this context of Indian rural development, MGNREGA is a key program that tackles the various issues that rural populations encounter. This article examines how important MGNREGA is to reducing the negative consequences of this climate change on rural livelihoods, especially for women and small-scale farmers. MGNREGA improves income stability, lessens distress migration, and gives women more social and economic power by guaranteeing employment. The program’s effects on environmental sustainability, natural resource management, and the development of rural infrastructure are also evaluated. This study demonstrates the important effects of MGNREGA on skill development, nutrition, health, and poverty alleviation through case studies and success stories. It also explores implementation difficulties and provides policy suggestions to make the program stronger.
