The primary goals of this program are to end poverty and provide rural households with income through a hundred days of guaranteed work annually. In Kanyakumari District, this plan has given women, castes, tribes and rural residents social security through employment guarantees. According to the study, the number of households enrolled in the MGNRE scheme varied based on local program involvement and how the scheme's components compared to local market salaries.The MGNRE program provided underprivileged groups with some minimal work. For this program to achieve its objectives in the Kanyakumari region, significant earnings, employment possibilities, efficient use of funds, and a clearer understanding of the caregiving obligations of women will be necessary.
