India enacts Viksit Bharat-G Ram G law replacing MGNREGA
Rural employment programme expands to 125 days with new development focus
Change
India enacted a new rural employment law replacing MGNREGA, increasing guaranteed workdays to 125 and restructuring programme priorities.
Why it matters
The new law expands guaranteed employment and shifts focus toward infrastructure, water security, and climate resilience. It also adjusts funding structures and strengthens enforcement provisions.
Implications
- — State implementation agencies must realign programme execution to new structure — failure risks funding inefficiencies
- — Rural development authorities must manage expanded work guarantees — poor execution risks operational strain
