This paper used a gender and development (GAD) approach and explores how M.G.NREGA is opening a new window for the ease of livelihood for rural women in India. MGNREGA is the first right based and demand driven employment generating act of the country which ensures some special provisions for rural women. The focus of the act is to mainstream the rural women into the contemporary discourse of economic development. MGNREGS is the outcome of this act. This paper keeps an inner look about the expectations from this scheme for the development of women livelihood in rural areas and the challenges in ground level implementation. The problem addressed in this paper is the women work issues generating with the successful implementation of the scheme. It is important to find out how the full benefits of the scheme can be explored. This exploration is needed for a large societal benefit and improved rural livelihood. For entire study, a twofold approach is taken. First is the analysis of available literatures to understand the possible outcomes of the scheme with current discourses of economic development. Second, analysis of primary and secondary data for revealing the characteristics of the problem based on gender dynamics of the region. This study relates findings from the field survey of 210 samples in the state of West Bengal, India. Intensive field study has identified several positive outcomes like saving of time for domestic works, mainstreaming of women labour, generation of income and livelihood security for village women, reorganization of women’s work etc with wide regional variations.
