According to the CAG report, Green India Mission has failed to meet nearly all its primary targets, undermined by massive funding gaps, suspected financial misappropriation, and "ghost" plantations that exist only on paper. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/cag-report-exposes-green-india-mission-failures-d6luh8to?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Forestation #EcologicallySensitiveAreas #MGNREGS #CAG

MGNREGA Demolition: Brazen Assault on Constitution

The manner of the Bill’s passage sets an utterly undemocratic precedent: that any right of the people, even when conferred in accordance with provisions of the Constitution, can be snatched by a mere voice vote in Parliament.

Ohh, looks like "Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme" is now proposed to be renamed as "Viksit Bharat—Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act", or VB–G RAM G Act!

And as I predicted, it is no longer a right or a guarantee, it is now simply alms thrown by the government to the people. In the words of CPI(M) MP John Brittas:

VB–G RAM G Bill repealing MGNREGA: removing Mahatma Gandhi was only the trailer. The real damage is deeper.

Govt removed the soul of a rights-based guarantee law and replaced it with a conditional, centrally controlled scheme stacked against States & workers.

“125 days” is the headline. 60:40 is the fine print - MGNREGA was a fully centrally funded one for unskilled wages; G RAM G downgrades it with States to bear 40%. States will now have to shell out around Rs. 50,000+ crore. Kerala alone will have to bear an additional 2,000–2,500 crore. Cost-shifting by stealth, not reform. This is the new federalism: States pay more, Centre walks away, yet claims the credit.

MGNREGA was demand-driven: if a worker asked for work, the Centre had to pay - G RAM G replaces this with Centre’s pre-fixed normative allocations & ceilings. When funds run out, rights run out. A legal employment guarantee is reduced to a centrally managed publicity scheme at the expense of States.

Panchayats sidelined, dashboards empowered - MGNREGA trusted Gram Sabhas & Panchayats to plan works based on local needs - G RAM G mandates GIS tools, PM Gati Shakti layers & central digital stacks. Local priorities are filtered through a Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack. It makes biometrics, geo-tagging, dashboards & AI audits statutory. For millions of rural workers, tech failures mean exclusion without appeal.
Decentralisation replaced by centralised templates; People become data points.

Worse, G RAM G mandates suspension of work for up to 60 days every year in the name of agricultural seasons. Employment guarantee or labour control? Scheme labourers are legally told: Don’t work. Don’t earn. Wait. Stopping public works to push labour into private farms is not welfare - it is state-managed labour supply, stripping workers of wages, choice and dignity.

G RAM G stands for central control, State funds & conditional rights. Same workers. Less rights. More burden. This Bill doesn’t reform MGNREGA - it dismantles it fiscally, institutionally and morally.

Bottom line: In the name of RAM, the States and poor are penalised, short-changed and fiscally sacrificed.

The Indian government has renamed the "Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme" to "Pujya Bapu Gramin Rozgar Yojana" - sigh!

While translating the other words to Hindi/Sanskrit (their usual obsession), the Indian fascists have cleverly removed the word "Guarantee" (or its Hindi/Sanskrit translation) from the name of the scheme. So I guess now it formally is just part of an alms package, to be offered and withdrawn at the government's will.

They also replaced the words "Mahatma Gandhi" with "Pujya Bapu" - which fucking Bapu is this? Asaram?

I guess people will simply shorten the new name to "PuBG Rozana".

Rural job scheme in huge demand, hints at ongoing distress in villages

MGNREGS has generated 40 crore persondays of work more than the pre-pandemic (2019-20) level - suggesting a continuing rural distress, and that job opportunities in the cities may not have returned to normal.

UP gives more for stray cows' food than pension to elderly, widows: Govt data

With Uttar Pradesh clamping down on the slaughter of cows beyond the productive age, and oxen and bulls, most farmers simply release these animals to avoid caring for them. The result has been a sharp increase in the number of stray cattle, which often invade agricultural fields, much to the dismay of other farmers. The state’s solution to this soaring problem has been to set up more cow protection centres.

1.2 crore MGNREGS workers will not be paid because they are not on Aadhaar-based wage system

The fourth extension for mandatory payments under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme via Aadhaar Based Payments System ends on August 31. As the numbers stand, out of the total 26 crore job card holders, 41.1% are still not eligible for this mode of payment. The Ministry of Rural Development has ruled out any more extensions, arguing that among the active workers, only 18.3% are ineligible.
