മെയിൻസ്
GS2: Government schemes and welfare mechanisms. Rights-based wage employment only works if workers can enforce it; the grievance rules turn delayed work and wage complaints into a formal redress process. The way forward is timely disposal, social audits, transparent payments and awareness among rural workers.

ഉത്തരം കാണിക്കൂ
ഉത്തരം: B — Correct: 2 only — Only statement 2 is correct; the scheme is run by the Ministry of Rural Development and guarantees 125 days. • 1 only — wrong: Statement 1 is false: the scheme is administered by the Ministry of Rural Development, so '1 only' fails. • Both 1 and 2 — wrong: Statement 1 is false because the notifying ministry is Rural Development, not Panchayati Raj. • Neither 1 nor 2 — wrong: Statement 2 is accurate, so rejecting both is wrong.
