In the Union Budget 2026–27, the government allocated ₹95,692.31 crore to the Viksit Bharat‑Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) — a new rural employment programme replacing the long‑standing MGNREGA scheme. The mission, part of the broader Viksit Bharat 2047 vision, promises up to 125 days of work annually for rural households, strengthening livelihood and infrastructure in villages. Alongside, MGNREGA received ₹30,000 crore during the transition year. The combined focus on rural jobs reflects an effort to intensify employment support and uplift agrarian communities across India.
