India's 2025 MGNREGA overhaul sparks backlash over name change, funding shift, and work guarantees.
The Indian government’s overhaul of the MGNREGA into the VB-G RAM-G Act, passed in the 2025 Winter Session, has sparked widespread criticism.
The new law increases guaranteed work days from 100 to 125, shifts funding to a 60:40 central-state ratio, and removes Mahatma Gandhi’s name, drawing opposition from Tamil Nadu and the Congress party.
Critics, including Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, argue the changes undermine the program’s demand-driven nature, threaten rural livelihoods, and disproportionately burden states.
They cite concerns over digital requirements excluding elderly and underserved workers, delays in wage payments, and reduced federal autonomy.
The Tamil Nadu Assembly unanimously passed a resolution urging the Centre to restore MGNREGA’s original name, funding, and guarantees.
La reforma de MGNREGA de la India para el año 2025 provoca una reacción violenta por el cambio de nombre, el cambio de financiación y las garantías de trabajo.
