Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Adult members of any household
Section 3(1) of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 guarantees up to 100 days of unskilled manual work to every adult member of ANY rural household that demands it. The entitlement is not confined to SC/ST, BPL or other specific categories, so options (a)-(c) are too restrictive; option (d) alone states the Act’s scope correctly.
