Viksit Bharat- Guarantee For Rozgar And Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025:
The Ministry of Rural Development introduced the Viksit Bharat- Guarantee For Rozgar And Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Bill, 2025 in the Lok Sabha as an upgrade to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (MGNREGA).The proposed law marks a fundamental shift from a rights-based, demand-driven rural employment scheme to a budget-capped, supply-driven framework aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047.Rural poverty has declined sharply from 25.7% in 2011–12 to nearly 5% in 2023–24, reducing the need for MGNREGA as a pure distress-relief programme and warranting a shift towards productivity-linked employment.
