India Replaces NREGA with New Rural Employment and Livelihood Mission

The Indian government has passed the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Bill (VB - G RAM G), replacing the NREGA scheme. This initiative aims to adapt rural employment and livelihood programs to the changing needs of the 21st century, including the digital age and AI era, aligning with the goal of a 'Viksit Bharat' (Developed India). Opposition parties have reportedly opposed this reform, viewing it as an opportunity to regain political ground.
