Rural job demand plunges as monsoon boosts farm work
Mint New Delhi
|November 10, 2025
Demand for work under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, or MGNREGA, has dropped sharply since June, with official data showing that the number of people seeking employment under the rural jobs scheme fell nearly two-thirds between June and October.
Total MGNREGA participation fell from around 35.4 million persons in June to 12.8 million in October, according to the ministry of rural development, marking one of the steepest midyear declines in recent years. During the same period last year, participation had dropped from 34.2 million to 19.9 million, a 42% decline.
