Centre to Frame Rules for Transitioning MGNREGA Workers into VB-G RAM G Scheme

The Indian government plans to soon notify rules for transitioning existing MGNREGA workers into the new Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (VB-G RAM G) scheme, allowing states a six-month window for alignment. Officials emphasize a seamless integration and universal, demand-driven approach similar to MGNREGA. Meanwhile, supporters highlight the scheme's alignment with the broader vision of 'Viksit Bharat-2047' and note recent growth in the Khadi sector under the current administration, contrasting it with past neglect.
