Yadgir DC appeals to labourers to work under VB-G RAM G
Observing the crowd of job seekers, the Deputy Commissioner approached the labourers to explain the enhanced features of the rural employment programme and urged them to stay in their villages rather than migrate to urban centres for work
Yadgir Deputy Commissioner Rahul Pandve visited Shastri Chowk on Friday to inform daily wage labourers about the improved benefits under the Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (VB-G RAM G) Act. Pandve, who succeeded Lavish Ordia as Chief Executive Officer of the zilla panchayat, urged the workers to remain in their villages and take advantage of the new rural employment programme.
The revised scheme offers 125 days of employment annually at a daily wage of ₹382, with tasks encompassing lake development, water and soil conservation, plantation drives, and construction of farm ponds and livestock sheds. Pandve emphasized that these employment opportunities eliminate the need for labourers to commute to urban areas.
He stressed the social benefits of local employment, including financial stability, better education for children, and family well-being. The Deputy Commissioner instructed his staff to conduct widespread awareness campaigns across the district to inform rural labourers of their rights and job prospects under the updated Act.
