MGNREGA mandates participation of women by at least
  1. a.50 per cent
  2. b.40 per cent
  3. c.30 per cent
  4. d.33 per cent

Answer: (D) 33 per cent

Schedule II of MGNREGA requires that at least one-third of the beneficiaries be women, which is rounded to 33 per cent. 50 per cent is the share of Panchayat seats reserved for women in many States, not the MGNREGA mandate.
