The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), enacted in 2005 to provide 100 days of wage employment annually to rural households, is being replaced by the Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (VB-GRAMG). Discussions with activists highlight MGNREGA's achievements and concerns that the new mission may undermine the legal right to work, potentially increasing rural distress and migration. Debates also surround funding changes and protests against the repeal of MGNREGA.
