Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan releases Rs 25,863 crore to states under Viksit Bharat G-RAM-G scheme
Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan disbursed ₹25,863 crore as the first installment for the Viksit Bharat G-RAM-G Yojana, a successor to MGNREGA. The new scheme guarantees 125 days of employment for rural households, replacing the previous 100-day limit. While lauded for smooth implementation, it faces criticism for removing Mahatma Gandhi's name and altering the Centre-State funding ratio.
