MGNREGA is not a scheme that offers work. It is a law that owes it: every rural household that asks is entitled to a hundred days of paid work in a year, and to be paid within a fortnight. This traces what was actually delivered, district by district.
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 — Schedule II: wages shall be paid within fifteen days of the week in which the work was done, and a delay entitles the worker to compensation. Whether that happened is not something this data can tell you, and the last panel explains why.
Average days of employment provided per household that worked. The dashed line is 100, the number the Act guarantees on demand. No state has ever reached it.
Households that completed 100 days, as a share of all households that worked at all that year.
Women's share of person-days. The Act sets a floor: at least one third of beneficiaries should be women, the dashed line.
