MGNREGA Work Days Calculator – Quick User Guide
🔰 About This Tool
This calculator helps rural households check their MGNREGA work eligibility, calculate remaining workdays, and estimate their monthly and total earning potential based on state-wise wage rates.
🟡 What is MGNREGA?
MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is a social security measure launched by the Government of India. It aims to:
“Enhance livelihood security of households in rural areas of the country by providing at least one hundred days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.”
It ensures job availability, wage security, and dignity of labour, particularly for marginalised and rural populations.
