Practice questions
Q1What is the percentage of reservation for women under the MNREGA Act, 2005? (Choose the most appropriate option from below.)
Explanation
Under the MNREGA Act, 2005, at least one-third of the beneficiaries must be women who have registered and requested work. One-third is commonly represented as 33% in examination options, so 33% is the appropriate answer. The figures 40%, 20%, and 25% do not match the statutory minimum share for women under the Act. They may look like plausible welfare-scheme percentages, but MNREGA specifically fixes the minimum women's participation at one-third.
