The article argues that the proposed overhaul of MGNREGA into VB-GRAMG, aligned with the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, is a necessary course correction rather than a dilution of rural welfare. It responds to criticism by highlighting structural weaknesses in the old MGNREGA framework. Despite two decades of operation, only 7.5–8% of households ever completed the guaranteed 100 days of work, and average employment stagnated at about 50 days per household. The new framework aims to progressively guarantee 125 days of employment, signalling ambition rather than contraction.
