The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS) has been devised as a public works programme to address the issue of a rights-based approach to development; provide income security to the rural households through guaranteed wage employment; reduce/check distress migration from rural to urban areas; and create durable community assets (in the rural areas) to trigger an overall development of about six lakh Indian villages.
