The Union government is set to introduce the “Viksit Bharat—Guarantee For Rozgar And Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)” bill, which aims to replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 (MGNREGA), during the ongoing winter session of Parliament. The new legislation enhances the number of workdays from 100 to 125, while simultaneously increasing the financial burden on states and dismantling the demand-driven structure of the existing law. | The Hindu
