Gramin Area Development for Government of Sikkim

Rural development is the process of enhancing the quality of life and economic well-being of individuals who live in rural areas that are relatively isolated and sparsely inhabited. MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) is regarded as a “Silver Bullet” for reducing rural poverty and unemployment by creating demand for productive labour in villages. It provides an alternative source of income, minimising migration, limiting child labour, alleviating poverty, and making villages self-sufficient through the production of productive assets like as road building, water tank cleaning, soil and water conservation work, and so on. As a result, it has been dubbed the world’s largest anti-poverty programme. On the basis of secondary data, an attempt has been made in this study to gain a full understanding of the development effort to rebuild rural life and livelihood.
