Summary This book examines the inclusive development experiences and impacts of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). It discusses the theoretical assumptions underlying the inclusive development of employment guarantee scheme (EGS), and draws conclusions based on robust data and real-world experiences with the MGNREGS which has attracted global attention as Indias most ambitious, rights-based development initiative and most expansive work-based social security measure, the worlds largest public works programme, and people-centric approach to development. The book argues that the Scheme holds vast potential, and, in fact, has made significant contribution to the promotion of livelihoods of the poorest of the poor, but that the weak institutions of local-self-governance, entrusted for implementation of the Scheme, are incapable of exploiting them to the full. It ends with a concrete policy suggestion: the inclusive development experiences gathered with the EGS and presented here could offer a source of policy change in many developing Afro-Asian countries whose situations are similar to Indias, provided the local conditions in the respective country are taken into consideration when designing the EGS. Its significance as a social security measure has increased in post-Covid loss of jobs and livelihoods of the poor.
