Job card mela launched across Mysuru district to strengthen VB-G RAM G
Campaign launched in all 255 gram panchayats
A job card mela has commenced across all 255 gram panchayats in Mysuru district with the aim of bolstering the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (VB-G RAM G) and securing employment for rural households. The Mysuru Zilla Panchayat, guided by the Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj, has initiated the campaign to create awareness about the scheme's advantages.
The campaign highlights the importance of water conservation, groundwater recharge, drought management, and sustainable livelihood opportunities, alongside promoting infrastructure development. It seeks to generate employment within villages and curb rural-urban migration. Officials will tour households to record employment demands, issuing Rozgar Guarantee Cards to eligible vulnerable families lacking registration under the scheme.
Special job cards will be provided to persons with disabilities and gender minorities. The cards will be updated and e-KYC completed on-site. Officials will also record unskilled work demands and disseminate information about the VB-G RAM G scheme's benefits and provisions. S. Yukesh Kumar, Chief Executive Officer of Mysuru Zilla Panchayat, emphasized the campaign's objective of ensuring employment security for every family, with the provision of up to 125 days of employment at ₹382 per day.
Deputy Secretary (Development) Bheemappa K. Lali stressed that the initiative would bolster livelihood security for rural and vulnerable populations, enhance the economic condition of rural residents, and foster water conservation efforts.
