The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 is a demand driven employment generation program enacted by government of India with a view to strengthen rural India. The act provides a legal guarantee of 100 days of wage employment in a year to members of the household who are more than 18 years of age and are willing to do unskilled work. In this article, an attempt has been made to examine the block-wise patterns of cumulative and new households issued MGNREGA job cards, households demanded and provided employment and unskilled wages provided to labourers under the MGNREGA, 2005 in Nuh district of Haryana employing the secondary data for the fiscal year 2020-2021. Nuh is an extremely poverty-stricken district. In this context, MGNREGA is a ‘silver bullet’ to the natives. The outcomes of the study revealed that a significantly large number of households (96.96%) possess MGNREGA job cards in the district and there is a huge demand of employment, especially, in blocks such as Nagina, Punhana and Taoru. MGNREGA jobs provided substantial employment to district’s households and a total sum of Rs. 143.26 crore was paid to them during the study year, thereby, contributing to increase in household’s income and lowering their levels of poverty to some extent.
