Karnataka likely to start movement against VB-G RAM G Act, start its own schemes
Karnataka's government is considering a new scheme or legislation to address rural employment and livelihood concerns, potentially opposing the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) Act, 2025. The Cabinet condemned the repeal of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), with Chief Minister Siddaramaiah expected to announce the state's plans on Saturday. The government argues that the new legislation centralizes power and increases financial burden while potentially benefiting contractors at the expense of local communities.
