TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Rural employment. Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) [G-RAM G] guarantees 125 days of wage employment annually to every eligible rural household, replacing the earlier 100-day guarantee. The nationwide mission was launched by Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan from Mukkavaripalli village in Andhra Pradesh. Eligible adults willing to perform unskilled manual work are entitled to employment, and unemployment allowance is payable if work is not provided within the prescribed period. The Central Government has committed over ₹95,000 crore for the first year, with the total programme expenditure expected to reach about ₹1.51 lakh crore, including the States' share. The mission targets nearly 2.86 lakh Gram Panchayats, with an average annual allocation of more than ₹2 crore per Gram Panchayat for employment generation and rural infrastructure. Gram Sabhas and Gram Panchayats have been empowered to prioritise local development works such as rural roads, irrigation structures, Anganwadi centres, schools, hospitals, ponds, check dams, and Farmer Producer Organisation (FPO) infrastructure. At the launch, Andhra Pradesh received a ₹7,707 crore allocation under the mission, along with approval for 74,212 houses under PMAY-G and 146 roads plus 19 bridges under PMGSY-IV. The mission emphasises decentralised planning, rural livelihood enhancement, community participation, and infrastructure-led village development.
