Chief Minister Implementing Developed India Employment and Livelihood Guarantee Mission Act 2025 with Full Strength: Shyam Singh Rana

Chandigarh, January 9 — Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana on Friday said that Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini is implementing the Prime Minister’s Developed India Employment and Livelihood Guarantee Mission (Rural) Act, 2025 in the state with full commitment. He said the new law guarantees corruption-free rural employment and marks a major reform in India’s rural employment framework.
Addressing a press conference in Kurukshetra, the minister said the Developed India Employment and Livelihood Guarantee Mission (Rural) Act, 2025 ensures increased guaranteed workdays, higher wages, transparent payments and the creation of sustainable rural assets. He said the new legislation rectifies shortcomings and corruption that plagued the earlier MGNREGA scheme, while strengthening accountability and beneficiary protection.
Shyam Singh Rana said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini have taken another historic step towards labour welfare and village development by launching the Developed India–G Ram G scheme. He said the initiative directly concerns crores of rural workers, farmers and hardworking families across the country.
The minister said the objective of the VB G Ram G Act is to support genuine labour beneficiaries who were deprived under previous governments. The Act provides for real-time monitoring of projects and ensures transparency in wage payments. By increasing guaranteed employment days, the scheme offers higher assured wages to workers. He said rural labourers will now work not to fill the coffers of corrupt contractors, officials or politicians, but to contribute to the construction of a developed India.
Highlighting a key reform, the minister said the employment guarantee has been increased from 100 days to 125 days under the new provisions, significantly boosting assured wages for workers. He said this step aims to improve the standard of living of labourers. On average, an unskilled rural worker across the country will see an annual income increase of more than ₹7,000. In Haryana, where wage rates are higher, each worker will receive at least ₹10,000 more annually.
