This snout has been prepared to replace the existing Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Under MGNREGA, which has been in gravity for the last several years, rural families have been given a legal guarantee of 100 days of employment, but in the new snout there is a provision to increase this number of days to 125.
