|---|---|
| Scheme Name | Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G 2025) |
| Objective | Overhaul of rural employment framework, combining income security with productivity, climate resilience, and infrastructure development. |
| Key Replacement | Replaces MNREGA (2005), shifting focus from short-term wage support to durable asset creation. |
| Employment Guarantee | 125 days of wage employment per rural household (up from 100 under MNREGA). |
| Four Priority Work Verticals | 1. Water Security (irrigation, groundwater recharge) 2. Core Rural Infrastructure (roads, storage) 3. Livelihood Infrastructure (agriculture, local enterprises) 4. Climate & Disaster Mitigation (flood control, soil conservation). |
| Digital Integration | Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack - a unified digital platform for asset mapping and planning. |
| Key Changes vs MNREGA | - Higher guaranteed work days (125) - Structured planning (Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan aligned with PM Gati-Shakti) - Normative funding (replaces demand-driven budgeting) - Mandatory unemployment allowance if work is denied. |
| Farm Labour Adjustments | States can pause works for up to 60 days/year during peak farming seasons to ensure labour availability. |
| Funding Structure | - 60:40 Centre-State split (general states) - 90:10 for NE & Himalayan states - 100% Centre for UTs without legislatures. |
| Expected Benefits | - Reduced distress migration - Improved rural infrastructure - Enhanced water security and climate resilience. |
| Challenges Addressed | - MNREGA's issues: fund misuse, low 100-day completion rates (<8% households) - Lack of durable assets - Poor coordination in planning. |
