Detailed Solution

It is False. NREGA guarantees 100 days of work to rural households and not urban households. Other features of this programme are:
1)      The government aims to enhance livelihood security in rural areas through this programme. It provides at least 100 days of wage employment in a financial year to every rural household. If the government fails to provide wage employment, it will give unemployment allowances to people.
2)      This scheme is open to all adult members of rural households who are willing to do unskilled manual work.
3)      One-third of jobs are reserved for women. Moreover, equal wages are to be provided to men and women.
