Telangana Budget 2026-27: Government Expresses Concerns Over Migration Linked to VB-G-RAM-G

The Deputy Chief Minister has announced that the current Central Government has introduced a new initiative named VB-G RAM G, which is intended to replace the existing Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). This new scheme has faced significant opposition, as the Telangana Legislative Assembly has unanimously passed a resolution against it.

MGNREGA has been a crucial program aimed at providing guaranteed wage employment to rural households across India, contributing to rural development and poverty alleviation since its inception in 2005. The introduction of the VB-G RAM G scheme raises concerns among various state leaders regarding its impact on employment opportunities, social security, and rural development.

Further discussions and evaluations of the new scheme’s provisions and its potential effects on local communities are expected as the debate continues within the Assembly and among stakeholders in the state.
