Karnataka Records 2.04 Crore Person-Days of Rural Employment Under VB-G RAM G Scheme
Karnataka generated a record 2.04 crore person-days of rural employment under the VB-G RAM G scheme from July 1 to October 13, surpassing last year's 1.71 crore under MGNREGS. Raichur led with 24 lakh person-days, followed by Bidar and Koppal. The increase is linked to rainfall deficits due to El Niño, prompting support for rural poor, Dalits, and landless laborers. The scheme focuses on creating durable rural assets and has expanded to include housing and community infrastructure. Employment benefits include up to 125 days annually at Rs 382 per day.
