NEW DELHI- President Droupadi Murmu has officially granted her assent to the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Act, 2025. This landmark legislation formally replaces the long-standing MGNREGA, enhancing the statutory employment guarantee from 100 to 125 days per financial year.

While the government hails the Act as a modern framework for 'Viksit Bharat 2047,' the Opposition, led by Congress, has intensified protests. They condemn the removal of Mahatma Gandhi's name and criticize the new 60:40 funding split between the Centre and States.
