Labour202537 sections7 chapters

The Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission Gramin Act, 2025 regulates rural employment in India by guaranteeing at least 125 days of paid, unskilled manual work every financial year to rural households. It applies directly to adult rural residents who volunteer for manual labor, as well as the local government bodies implementing the public works programs. This legislation matters because it provides a vital economic safety net for families, builds climate-resilient community infrastructure, pays wages at a rate notified by the Central Government that cannot be lower than the earlier MGNREGA rate, and promises unemployment allowances when job placement is delayed, utilizing advanced, modern digital tracking systems for public transparency.
