Parliamentary Panel Discusses MGNREGA Transition to New Rural Employment Act

A parliamentary panel reviewed the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) and discussed the transition to the new VB-G RAM G Act. Key concerns included managing the six-month transition, ensuring wage payments, and arranging additional funding. Members noted low enrollment in MGNREGA in some states and the time needed to frame rules for the new act, which offers 125 days of employment. Discussions also covered past recommendations to improve MGNREGA, such as increasing workdays.
