VB-G RAM G promised more work, but rural jobs fell nearly 50% in its first month. What drove the decline? https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/vb-g-ram-g-rural-jobs-fall-first-month-m3f6rxsy?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #VBGGRAMG #RuralEmployment #RuralJobs #MGNREGA #India

Congress has criticised the Centre’s new VB-G RAM G Act, set to replace MGNREGA from July 1, calling it a move towards centralisation and weaker rural labour rights, while the government defends it as a major reform https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/congress-slams-vb-g-ram-g-act-mgnrega-replacement-july-rollout-qc2wlvst?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MGNREGA #VBGRAMGAct #Congress #JairamRamesh #RuralEmployment

The Centre has announced that the new Viksit Bharat rural employment law will replace MGNREGA nationwide from July 1, with workers assured of a seamless transition https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/mgnrega-replaced-new-rural-employment-law-july-1-k9b0eoh5?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MGNREGA #RuralEmployment #India #GovernmentPolicy #RuralDevelopment

Karnataka to Challenge New Employment Act in Court

Karnataka government says no to the new VB-G RAM G Act. They think it breaks rules and hurts states' rights. Other states also disagree.

The Karnataka government has decided to take the new VB-G RAM G employment law to court. They believe the law is not fair to states and may weaken job guarantees for people. Other states like Punjab and Telangana also have concerns.

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.

President approves the Viksit Bharat—GRAMG Act 2025, raising rural job guarantee to 125 days and strengthening livelihood security across villages. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/president-gives-assent-to-viksit-bharat-rozgar-bill-2025-ollbao26?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #ViksitBharat #RuralEmployment #RozgarGuarantee #RuralDevelopment

The bill is designed to be both worker-friendly and farmer-friendly, while strengthening decentralised planning and cooperative federalism https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/vbg-ram-g-bill-modi-govt-responds-to-4-key-myths-about-mgnrega-ipit5m8q?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #VBGRAMG #ViksitBharatG_RAM_G #RuralEmployment #MGNREGA

Proposed MGNREGS changes trigger concerns in Kerala over budget cuts, central control and reduced employment guarantee. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/budget-cuts-tighter-control-rising-costs-and-more-why-kerala-govt-is-concerned-over-mgnregs-revamp-ehu6uwne?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MGNREGA #RuralEmployment #VBGRAMG #Kerala

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 new Rural Employment Bill replacing MGNREGA has drawn sharp criticism from Opposition MPs, including Priyanka Gandhi and Derek O’Brien, over removing Mahatma Gandhi’s name. CPM calls it “reckless” and an attack on rural entitlements. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/why-mahatma-gandhis-name-removed-centre-faces-opposition-backlash-over-new-rural-employment-bill-htmskf06?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MGNREGA #RuralEmployment #VBGRAMG #MahatmaGandhi #IndianPolitics

The proposed VB-G Ram G Bill, 2025 raises guaranteed rural work to 125 days, shifts part of the wage burden to states, and allows a pause during peak farm seasons. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/viksit-bharat-vb-g-ram-g-bill-mgnrega-features-bxxwbh4m?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #VBGRamGBill #MGNREGA #RuralEmployment #Parliament #IndiaNews

President Droupadi Murmu has cleared the VB-G RAM G Bill, 2025 for introduction in the Lok Sabha, paving the way for a new rural job guarantee law that is set to replace MGNREGA. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/new-job-guarantee-bill-replaces-mgnrega-ge0fa2me?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #VBGRAMGBill2025 #MGNREGA #RuralEmployment #ViksitBharat #Parliament

Union Cabinet approves renaming MGNREGA to `Poojya Bapu Grameen Rozgar Yojna` and increasing workdays from 100 to 125. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/mgnrega-renamed-workdays-increased-rt4et4kt?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MGNREGA #RuralEmployment #PoojyaBapuRozgarYojana #India

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".
