- 16 june The Central Government’s draft rules for the proposed VBGRAMG, projected as an “enhanced” replacement for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), claim to provide an enhanced employment guarantee of 125 days per household. However, an analysis of the Government’s own data and proposed fund allocations demonstrates that this promise is neither financially backed nor administratively feasible because of the extent of centralization and discretion at the hands of the Central Government.
VBGRAM introduces new hurdles to the right to work causing its demise.
