India’s tribal population is suffering from widespread economic and livelihood insecurity as a result of the scarcity of work options in rural areas. The major socio-economic issues affecting tribes in India include poverty, exploitation, unemployment, illiteracy, displacement, and migration. Tribal people are often socially and politically marginalized. The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) plays a crucial role in providing a safety net for tribal communities which creates employment opportunities, enhance the skills of tribal workers, and promotes income diversification and financial inclusion. Based on secondary data, the broad objective of the present paper is to assess the impact of MGNREGA on tribal communities in the Indian context. The study finds that MGNREGA has limited effects on tribal communities. The concluding section has focused on some recommendations for the betterment of the tribal community. – Reproduced http://www.iipabiharbranch.org/upload/BJPA_Vol.%20XXI%20No.%201%20Jan-June.%202024.pdf
