New direction for rural India through the Developed India Employment and Livelihood Guarantee Mission Act.
Lucknow. The Developed India – Employment and Livelihood Guarantee Mission Act, 2025- VB-G RAM G introduced by the Central Government is being seen as a significant change in the social and economic scenario of rural India. This Act is a modern and comprehensive version of the twenty year old Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA), which has been prepared in line with the long-term goal of Developed India 2047. Under the new Act, every rural family has been provided a legal right to 125 days of guaranteed employment, thereby further strengthening the income security of rural families.

This new law is not limited to just employment generation, but also aims to create sustainable and productive rural infrastructure. Under this, priority has been given to water security, key rural infrastructure, resources related to livelihood and special tasks in climate and disaster situations. The assets created through these works will form part of the developed India National Rural Infrastructure, thereby underpinning an integrated and long-term development model across the country.
The government believes that this Act will give new impetus to the rural economy. Works related to water conservation and irrigation will help in increasing agricultural productivity, while facilities like roads, connectivity and storage will better connect farmers and rural entrepreneurs to the market. Creation of livelihood related infrastructure will develop new sources of income in rural areas and employment opportunities will be available to the people in their own areas. This is also likely to reduce distress migration towards cities.
This Act is considered especially beneficial for farmers. A provision of 60 days of no-work period has been made to ensure availability of labor during the critical agricultural season, so that there is no shortage of labor at the time of sowing and harvesting. Along with this, assets related to water conservation, irrigation, storage and market connectivity will be helpful in reducing the costs of farmers and increasing their income. Work related to climate adaptation will also play an important role in protecting crops from natural disasters.
This Act has also brought new opportunities for income, security and transparency for the workers. The 125 days guarantee will increase their potential income and receive wages on time through digital payment system. If work is not provided in any situation, the provision of unemployment allowance is also an important part of this law. Additionally, the assets that will be created will also benefit the workers themselves and their families.
