Government Announces Implementation of VB-G RAM G Act Starting July 1; MGNREGA to be Repealed

The Ministry of Rural Development has confirmed that the transition from the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) to the newly proposed framework will be carried out smoothly, ensuring no disruption to workers.

This transition is part of the governments broader strategy to enhance rural job opportunities and improve the efficiency of employment schemes. With MGNREGA having provided over 1.5 billion person-days of work since its inception, officials emphasize the importance of maintaining stability for workers reliant on these programs during the transition period.

The Ministry is expected to implement continuous training and support services for both workers and local authorities in order to facilitate the shift to the new framework. Further details on the timeline and specific changes are anticipated to be released in the coming weeks, as the government aims to maintain the socioeconomic stability in rural areas.
