9 Years Later, UPA's Flagship Scheme for Rural Poor Plagued by Lack of Funds
There isn't much to do for Pantho Munda, a resident in Angara village of Jharkhand's Ranchi district.

MNREGA, a scheme launched in 2005 by the Congress-led UPA government, promises 100 days of guaranteed work a year to rural households.
