Abstract	This study examines the impact of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) on employment generation in Karnataka. Using secondary data from official websites, the research highlights MGNREGA's significant role in providing wage employment and enhancing livelihood security for rural households. As of September 2024, over 80 lakh job cards have been issued, with a high employment fulfillment rate exceeding 98%. The program actively supports marginalized communities, with 18.15% of workers from Scheduled Castes and 10.71% from Scheduled Tribes. Overall, MGNREGA is a crucial mechanism for economic stability and poverty alleviation in rural Karnataka.
