A small village in Rajasthan built a wall to arrest rainwater runoffs, tapping into MGNREGA and showing that this social welfare scheme is an effective climate action tool as extreme weather events of floods and droughts become more and more frequent. Rural India can brace itself better for these climate uncertainties with the effective use of MGNREGA funds.
