MGNREGA Permissible Work List - Summary
This MGNREGA Permissible Work List PDF is an English copy of the Schedule I works list under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, issued by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. The eight-page copy lists 260 permissible works; its embedded PDF metadata records a creation date in 2018.
Works included in the list
The table groups works by category and marks natural resource management, agriculture and allied activities, water-related work and other subcategories. Examples include water conservation, irrigation channels, land development, plantation and community buildings. The list helps readers identify the work categories in the earlier Schedule I version.
This is the earlier 260-work edition, not the later 266-work list. The Ministry’s Annual Master Circular 2024-25 includes a later permissible-works annexure.
