Telangana Cabinet Forms Panel to Review New Rural Employment Scheme Impact
The Telangana government has formed a cabinet sub-committee to examine the implications of adopting the Centre's Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission Gramin (VB-GRAMG), set to replace the existing rural employment scheme from July 1. The committee, including ministers N. Uttam Kumar Reddy and others, will study models from other states, assess financial impacts, and consult stakeholders before recommending the state's course of action. Concerns include increased state financial burden and potential reduction in employment opportunities under the new scheme.
