India witnessed a series of social and political discontents in the reform phase which are not completely disconnected with the growth process. The MGNREGA is an attempt to address, although partially, the issue of distribution that has become more pressing in the reform phase of high growth and increasing inequality. The MGNREGA Act aimed at providing livelihood security in rural India by providing work on demand to the rural households to do unskilled work for a period of 100 days at the prevailing minimum wage rate in the states (MGNREGA Act, 2005). The study was based on primary and secondary data. The unit of analysis of the propose study was the individual MGNREGA workers in Lunglei district of the state of Mizoram. Both men and women MGNREGA workers who had job cards were the respondents for this study. The paper explores the level of awareness the job card holders have of MGNREGA in the Lunglei district of Mizoram.
