Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced the replacement of MGNREGA with the G-Ram-G Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission. He cited 'loopholes' in MGNREGA, including contractor involvement and machine preference, as reasons for its inadequacy. The new G-Ram-G mission aims to guarantee 125 days of work, increase financial allocations, and empower Gram Panchayats to plan village development, linking it to the 'Viksit Bharat' initiative.
