The Centre has published draft rules for the Viksit Bharat - Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, 2025 (VB-G RAM G), inviting public consultation ahead of its nationwide rollout on July 1. The rules establish the institutional, administrative, financial, and governance framework for the new rural employment scheme replacing MGNREGA. They cover transitional provisions, fund allocation based on Finance Commission parameters, grievance redressal, wage payments, and protection of workers' rights during the transition period until states notify the new scheme.
