India raises MGNREGA work limit for Jammu and Kashmir
Eligible rural households can access up to 150 MGNREGA work days
Change
India approved increasing MGNREGA employment entitlement to 150 person-days for calamity-affected rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir in FY2025-26.
Why it matters
The approval adds up to 50 extra work days above the standard 100-day entitlement for households in flood, cloudburst and landslide-affected areas.
Implications
- — Local administrators must apply expanded eligibility only to affected rural areas — misallocation risks scheme non-compliance
- — Eligible households must be enrolled for additional work days — failure delays livelihood support
