VB-G RAM G enacted in backdrop of notable decline in work demand under MGNREGS: Economic Survey

India has replaced the MGNREGA with the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission Act 2025. This new law guarantees 125 days of wage employment annually. The move follows a significant decline in MGNREGS work demand and a strengthening of rural economic conditions. The Act aims to enhance accountability and infrastructure outcomes.
