Viksit Bharat — Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB–G RAM G)

Up to 125 days of paid work a year for rural households; it replaced MGNREGA from 1 July 2026.

This is a guide, not a decision. Eligibility is decided by the department that runs each scheme.

Run by: Ministry of Rural Development

Official rule (in English, as published)

Guaranteed wage employment of 125 days in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work. Work within 15 days of applying, or an unemployment allowance. Existing MGNREGA job cards with e-KYC stay valid until new cards are issued.

Ask the office or portal which documents it needs; we list documents only where the official site does.
