Ensure VB-G RAM G jobs for all eligible workers to check migration: Eshwar Khandre
Officials will be held responsible if people migrate owing to lack of employment, says Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister
Rural Development Minister Eshwar Khandre instructed officials to guarantee employment for all eligible workers in Ballari district through the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) scheme, aiming to curb distress migration due to reduced rainfall affecting agriculture. Khandre criticized the district for meeting only 46% of the person-day generation target by June and urged officials to generate 51.3 lakh person-days this year, with at least five to six lakh person-days each month.
He directed the completion of the e-KYC process for job cards and immediate implementation of works, warning that officials concerned in failing to provide employment would be held responsible for the migration of poor and marginalized communities. The minister emphasized the priority of ensuring clean drinking water and proper road restoration, criticizing delays and negligence.
