Abstract

The terms "green structure" and "sustainability" are frequently used interchangeably because of the vital role that green structures play in structural development, industry innovation, resilient infrastructure development, sustainable urban design, and climate change adaptation measures. To develop and preserve these ecological assets, local communities, businesses, and government organizations frequently work together. In rural India, green infrastructure is being promoted via the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). In addition to promoting ecological conservation and environmental sustainability, MGNREGA is a social security program designed to guarantee livelihood security through employment. Green infrastructure development is supported by MGNREGA, which incorporates activities like afforestation, water conservation, and building sustainable rural assets. These initiatives support rural livelihoods by creating jobs, but they also aid in the preservation and repair of natural ecosystems. The main objective of this paper is to highlight the activities for green infrastructure under MGNREGA and the problems faced for the implementation of green infrastructure initiatives under MGNREGA.
