Centre reviews states’ VB-G RAM G preparedness

The Ministry of Rural Development reviewed states' preparedness for the Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, 2025, which will replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme from July 1. The new law increases the statutory guarantee of wage employment for rural households from 100 to 125 days in a financial year. States were advised to honour genuine employment demand and clear pending liabilities under the old scheme before the rollout of the new one.
