Question

Explain the objective of implementing the Viksit Bharat-G RAM G 2025.

Answer 1

The primary objective of implementing the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) [VB-G RAM G] Act, 2025 is to modernise rural employment and elevate the unorganised rural sector to coincide with the nation’s long-term Viksit Bharat @ 2047 development goals.

The core objectives of this act include:

1. Expanded Livelihood Guarantee: It legally increases the statutory wage employment guarantee from 100 days to 125 days per rural household yearly.
2. Durable National Infrastructure: It shifts from temporary, manual labour to high-quality, permanent asset creation, with a concentration on water security, rural housing grids, and green energy infrastructure.
3. Protecting the Agricultural Cycle: It establishes a regulated 60-day “no-work” period during peak sowing and harvesting seasons, guaranteeing that local farms do not encounter labour shortages when private agricultural demand increases.
4. Shared Fiscal Accountability: It offers a collaborative 60:40 centre-state cost-sharing funding model to build financial accountability and improve program implementation at the state and local levels.
5. Tech-Driven Transparency: It combines local project planning with spatial national mapping software (such as PM Gati Shakti) to prevent corruption, remove double-counting, and track the durability of rural infrastructure in real time.
