The rural employment programme was a scheme that was launched by the Government of India in 2001 to provide employment to the rural poor. It seeks to provide employment and food to people in rural areas who lived below the poverty line. The programme was implemented by the District Panchayats, Intermediate Panchayats and Gram Panchayats. This programme no longer exists as it was brought under the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme from 2006.
The National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme was started in 2005 that aims to guarantee the right to work. It seeks to guarantee at least 100 days of wage employment to to every household in rural areas whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. It was first implemented in 625 districts in India. In 2008, the programme was expanded to cover all the districts of India. This programme also aims to create durable assets like roads, canals, ponds, wells etc. in rural areas.
