Solution

The correct option is A MGNREGA
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act or MGNREGA was enacted in 2005 to guarantee 100 days of wage employment per year to rural households. More than 14 crore people are actively employed under this scheme. Along with these, the Panchayats undertake certain initiatives on their own to provide employment.
