It is false. NREGA was implemented to provide 100 days of wage employment and not for 120 days, making the above statement false. A few other features of NREGA are:
1)      NREGA stands for National Rural Employment Guarantee Act. It was enacted in 2005 to provide a legal guarantee for 100 days of employment to an adult member of every rural household. The adult member must be willing to do manual, unskilled work.
2)      NREGA's main objective is to empower rural poor people by providing them with a fall-back employment source.
3)      Work site facilities like shade and drinking water are provided.
4)      A Grievance redressal system is also in place to ensure proper implementation of the scheme.
