The correct answer is Option C: 01 July 2026. The VB-GRAMG Act, 2025 will replace MGNREGA across India from 1 July 2026 and was notified on 11 May 2026, while the Bill received Presidential assent on 21 December 2025 after being passed in Parliament on 18–19 December 2025. MGNREGA was enacted in 2005 and provided a legal guarantee of wage employment in rural areas under a demand-driven work framework. VB-GRAMG operates as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme with shared Centre–State financing, continuing rural wage employment provision. The funding pattern under VB-GRAMG is 60:40 for most States and 90:10 for North Eastern States, Himalayan States, and Union Territories. The scheme increases guaranteed wage employment from 100 days to 125 days per financial year for rural households. VB-GRAMG links employment with productive asset creation, climate resilience, and convergence with other government schemes. The programme is aligned with the Viksit Bharat @2047 vision, which is India’s long-term development framework for the centenary year of independence. The estimated annual outlay of the scheme exceeds ₹1.51 lakh crore, with the Centre allocating about ₹95,700 crore for 2026–27.
