A JG is justiciable.

In 2006, India embarked on an ambitious attempt to fi ght poverty by attempting to introduce a wage fl oor in a setting in which many unskilled workers earn less than the minimum wage. The 2005 National Rural Employment Guarantee Act creates a justiciable “right to work” by promising 100 days of wage employment in every financial year to all rural households whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. Work is provided in public works projects at the statutory minimum wage notifi ed for the program by state governments that are responsible for implementing the Act under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS). Work must be made available within 15 days of receiving an application to work, failing which, the state government is liable for paying an unemployment allowance. MGNREGS is the largest antipoverty public employment program anywhere. Yet until recently, it has been subject to very little rigorous evaluative research. If the scheme worked in practice the way it is designed, there would be little or no unmet demand for work among unskilled workers. Anyone who wanted work at the stipulated wage rates would get it. Under ideal conditions, such a scheme could almost certainly have a large impact on poverty in India. The work requirement will create a “self-targeting” mechanism, in that nonpoor people are unlikely to demand such work. The scheme could also help reduce future poverty through its secondround effects, including providing insurance in risk-prone environments, empowering workers and villagers generally, and creating useful assets
