Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) aims to create permanent productive assets by guaranteeing at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household willing to work voluntarily in rural areas. The scheme focuses on providing employment to rural farmers/agricultural labourers through social security, empowerment of women and weaker sections and strengthening of Panchayat Raj institutions.

- Under the concept of “If I am prosperous, then the village is prosperous and the village is prosperous, then Maharashtra is prosperous”, the intention is to increase the income of farmers through various individual schemes through Mahatma Gandhi NREGA and to eradicate poverty by developing the village through various types of public works.
- If the 266 types of individual and public permissible works taken up under MNREGA are planned properly, every family in the district can become a millionaire.
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme- Maharashtra, is different from other developmental schemes of the government. Compared to other schemes, the scheme has acquired a special importance due to the rights granted to the villagers by the law in this scheme. The salient features of this scheme can be stated as follows.
Since the scheme is being implemented by the Central Government’s Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005, the law has imposed restrictions for the implementation of the scheme. Every person living in rural areas above 18 years of age who is willing to do manual (unskilled) work is given the right by law to demand work and it is mandatory by law to provide work as demanded. There is no difference between men and women in this. There is a special provision in the law for weaker sections. In addition to providing the benefits of the Personal Benefit Scheme, the Central Government has also issued a special colored job card to destitute women, disabled persons, unemployed persons, unemployed laborers and the specially weak sections of tribals as per the amendments made in Schedule 1 and 2 of the Act. So that it would be convenient to provide work to such persons according to their physical capacity. The Act itself makes it mandatory for the implementing agency to provide work to a person above 18 years of age if he/she requests work, and thus the right to get work has been achieved through the scheme.
Since the Act provides for providing work for 100 days to a family, there is a guarantee of 100 days of work for the family. Even though the Central Government has guaranteed 100 days of work, the State Government has gone further and provided work for 365 days. According to decentralization, the Gram Sabha has got the right to plan the developmental work of its own village. Since wages are paid according to the measurement of the work done, remuneration is received according to the work done.
This scheme prohibits work through contractors. The scheme provides for the payment of wages to the bank or post office account. Wages are not paid in cash. If work is not provided within 15 days of the request for work, the worker is admissible with unemployment allowance of 25 percent of the wage rate. If the wage is not provided to the worker within 15 days of the end of the attendance sheet, a delay compensation of 0.05 percent is admissible from the 16th day after the end of the attendance sheet. As per the government decision dated 26th February 2014, if the wage is not paid within the prescribed period, the State Government will pay the compensation amount due due to the delay and then the District Collector/Chief Executive Officer or the officer authorized by him will make a detailed inquiry into the delay and recover the compensation amount from the officers/employees responsible for it.
