Three major programmes that aim at improving the food and nutritional status of the poor are Public Distribution System, Poshan Abhiyan and Midday Meal Scheme. Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana and Valmiki Ambedkar Awas Yojana are also attempts in developing infrastructure and housing conditions. In August 2005, the Parliament passed a new Act to provide guaranteed wage employment to every rural household whose adult volunteer is to do unskilled manual work for a minimum of 100 days in a year. This is known as Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA). Under this Act all those among the poor who are ready to work at the minimum wage can report for work in areas where this programme is implemented. The government provides partial financial assistance to SHGs which then decide whom the loan is to be given to for self- employment activities. Swaranjayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana is one such programme.
