flag India renamed MGNREGA to Viksit Bharat Guarantee, extending rural job guarantees to 125 days, with presidential assent on Dec. 27, 2025.

flag India has renamed the MGNREGA to the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, citing Mahatma Gandhi’s last words, "Hey Ram," with the government stating the core structure remains unchanged. flag The guaranteed employment period has been extended from 100 to 125 days per year. flag The new law, which received presidential assent on December 27, 2025, aims to strengthen rural livelihoods and support India’s 2047 vision for a self-reliant rural economy. flag Opposition leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, criticized the change as a centralizing move without Cabinet approval, likening it to the 2016 demonetization, while the government insists it enhances, rather than replaces, the original program’s goals.
