How does MGNREGA intend to stop distress migration
Analyze how the objective of stopping distress migration through MGNREGA is becoming nullified due to technology.
- Technology has made it easier to find alternative sources of income outside rural areas.
- The rapid spread of the internet and smartphones has made it possible for people to find work and educational opportunities without leaving their homes.
- Moreover, the availability of e-commerce and logistics platforms has created opportunities for people to earn a living from remote areas.
- Also, the increasing penetration of technology in agriculture has created new avenues for farmers to earn a livelihood by adopting new farming practices, using high-yield crops, and accessing online marketplaces.
- Thus, the increasing availability of technology has made it less important for people to migrate to urban areas, and this nullifies the objective of MGNREGA to stop distress migration.
