Jharkhand assembly passes resolution against VB-G-Ram-G; Demands protection for MGNREGA's benefits for rural workers
In a bold move, the Jharkhand Assembly has declared its opposition to the Centre's controversial VB-G-Ram-G Act, intended to abolish the UPA-era MGNREGA program. State Rural Development Minister Deepika Pandey Singh passionately stated that such a change would jeopardize the livelihoods of the rural poor, strip away crucial work guarantees, and impose a heavy financial strain on the state.
