The Union government has requested all states and union territories to organize special gram sabha meetings to raise awareness about the newly enacted Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgaar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, 2025. The new jobs guarantee scheme aims to strengthen rural employment and livelihood diversification while providing guaranteed access to wage employment and sustainable livelihood opportunities. The government has urged states to ensure active participation of all groups, including women, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe households, and vulnerable groups. The Ministry of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj will closely monitor the progress of this effort.
