| Scheme Name | Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G 2025) |
| Objective | Overhaul of rural employment framework, combining income security with productivity, climate resilience, and infrastructure development. |
| Key Replacement | Replaces MNREGA (2005), shifting focus from short-term wage support to durable asset creation. |
| Employment Guarantee | 125 days of wage employment per rural household (up from 100 under MNREGA). |
| Four Priority Work Verticals | 1. Water Security (irrigation, groundwater recharge) <br> 2. Core Rural Infrastructure (roads, storage) <br> 3. Livelihood Infrastructure (agriculture, local enterprises) <br> 4. Climate & Disaster Mitigation (flood control, soil conservation). |
| Digital Integration | Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack - a unified digital platform for asset mapping and planning. |
| Key Changes vs MNREGA | - Higher guaranteed work days (125) <br> - Structured planning (Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan aligned with PM Gati-Shakti) <br> - Normative funding (replaces demand-driven budgeting) <br> - Mandatory unemployment allowance if work is denied. |
| Farm Labour Adjustments | States can pause works for up to 60 days/year during peak farming seasons to ensure labour availability. |
| Funding Structure | - 60:40 Centre-State split (general states) <br> - 90:10 for NE & Himalayan states <br> - 100% Centre for UTs without legislatures. |
| Expected Benefits | - Reduced distress migration <br> - Improved rural infrastructure <br> - Enhanced water security and climate resilience. |
| Challenges Addressed | - MNREGA's issues: fund misuse, low 100-day completion rates (<8% households) <br> - Lack of durable assets <br> - Poor coordination in planning. |
