Consider the following statements in respect of the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005: 1. Under the provisions of the Act, 100 days of employment in a year to every household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work has become a fundamental right. 2. Under the provisions of the Act, women are to get priority to the extent that one-half of persons who are given employment are women who have asked for work. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Statement 1 is incorrect. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (NREGA) provides a legal guarantee for 100 days of employment in every financial year to adult members of any household willing to do public work-related unskilled manual work. However, this guarantee is a statutory right provided by the Act, not a fundamental right explicitly enshrined in Part III of the Constitution. 2. Statement 2 is incorrect. Schedule II, Paragraph 6 of the Act states that priority shall be given to women in such a way that at least one-third of the beneficiaries shall be women who have asked for work. It is not one-half. 3. Therefore, neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct.
