This scheme builds upon and expands the MGNREGA framework, increasing the guaranteed days from 100 to 125. The notification has significant implications for Odisha's rural economy, given the state's large agricultural and unorganised labour force. The scheme is part of the broader "Viksit Bharat" vision aimed at strengthening rural infrastructure and employment. For competitive exams, note the acronym: G-RAM-G (Gramin Rozgar and Manki Guarantee).
The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission Gramin Act responds to this experience through a comprehensive legislative reset. It strengthens the implementation framework by increasing the administrative expenditure ceiling from 6 per cent to 9 per cent, providing greater support for staffing, remuneration, training, and technical capacity. This shift reflects a practical and people-centred approach to programme management, moving towards a more professional and adequately supported system. Stronger administrative capacity is expected to improve planning and execution, enhance service delivery, and reinforce accountability, ensuring that the objectives of the new framework are achieved consistently at the village level.
