NREGA and MGNREGA are two acronyms that are often used interchangeably to refer to the same scheme, but they are not exactly the same. NREGA stands for National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, while MGNREGA stands for Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. Both are government schemes that aim to provide guaranteed employment and livelihood security to the rural poor in India.
NREGA was enacted in 2005 as a landmark legislation that promised to provide 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. The scheme was initially implemented in 200 districts in 2006, and was later extended to all the districts of the country in 2008.
On 2nd October 2009, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, an amendment was made in the NREGA to change its name to MGNREGA. The amendment was made to honour the contribution of Mahatma Gandhi to the cause of rural development and empowerment. The amendment also added some new provisions to the scheme, such as social audit, grievance redressal mechanism, and convergence with other schemes.
