The NREGA, for me, is an important tool in ensuring people's Right to Work & thereby Right to Food. It's a landmark Act and denotes the government's concern for the rural populace who don't have options like in cities. If implemented strictly and fairly, it would also ensure less migration to towns & cities and thereby not add to some urban governance problems we are witnessing already in places like Mumbai where a section of 'local' politicians are demanding sort of filteration of labourers coming from certain places. It's high time it is implemented in places like Bihar where the rate of migration for sheer lack of work is astounding. Great thinking by bthe government in long term perspective. Welcome move indeed.
