Introduction: Hope Arrives in the Village
In the heart of rural India, where dusty roads stretch between small houses and daily survival depends on hard work, government employment schemes play a crucial role. One such initiative, VB GramG, has become a lifeline for millions of rural labourers.
This is the story of Ramesh Kumar, a daily wage labourer, whose life slowly changed because of the VB GramG rural employment scheme. His journey reflects the real struggles, dignity of labour, and the importance of guaranteed work and timely payment in India’s villages.
Life Before VB GramG scheme: Daily Struggles of a Rural Labourer
Ramesh Kumar lived in Bharatpur village, a small village dependent on agriculture. Like many others, he owned no land. His income depended entirely on seasonal farm work.
During droughts or off-seasons:
There was no work
No fixed income
No savings
Constant stress about food, school fees, and medical expenses
Many days, Ramesh had to migrate to nearby towns in search of work, leaving his family behind. The wages were uncertain, and contractors often delayed payments. Life was hard, unpredictable, and full of insecurity.
Introduction of VB GramG Scheme in the Village
Everything began to change when the VB GramG Scheme was introduced in Bharatpur village.
The village head announced in a Gram Sabha meeting that:
Every rural household would get guaranteed wage employment
Work would be provided within the village
Payments would be made directly to bank accounts
Labourers would receive fair wages for their hard work
For Ramesh, this sounded almost unbelievable.
Getting Work Under VB GramG
Ramesh registered himself under the VB GramG employment scheme with the help of the village office. Soon, he received his job card.
Within weeks, he was assigned work:
Digging ponds for water conservation
Repairing village roads
Cleaning drainage channels
Plantation work to improve greenery
The work was tough, but it was dignified work. Most importantly, it was near his home, allowing him to return to his family every evening.
Timely Payment: A Turning Point
After completing his first 14 days of work, Ramesh waited anxiously.
Then one morning, he received a message:
“₹3,420 credited to your bank account under VB GramG.”
For the first time in his life:
Payment was on time
No middlemen
No corruption
No begging for wages
This moment changed everything.
Impact of VB GramG on Ramesh’s Family
With regular income from VB GramG rural employment, Ramesh could finally plan his life.
Positive Changes:
His children returned to school
His wife started a small kitchen garden
Medical needs were no longer ignored
Small savings became possible
The fear of hunger slowly faded.
Social Dignity and Self-Respect
Earlier, Ramesh felt invisible. Now, he felt respected.
Working under the VB GramG Scheme gave him:
Identity as a registered worker
Equal wages with others
Safety at the worksite
A sense of contribution to village development
Villagers worked together, strengthening community bonds.
Village Development Through VB GramG
VB GramG not only changed Ramesh’s life but also transformed Bharatpur village.
Visible Improvements:
Better roads
Improved water storage
Increased greenery
Reduced migration to cities
The village became stronger, more self-reliant, and hopeful.
Challenges Still Exist
While VB GramG has brought positive change, challenges remain:
Occasional delays in work allocation
Need for better awareness
Demand for more workdays
Training for skilled work
But for labourers like Ramesh, even this support is a big step forward.
Ramesh’s Message to Other Labourers
Ramesh often tells others:
“VB GramG did not make me rich, but it gave me respect, food, and security. That is enough to stand with dignity.”
Conclusion: VB GramG as a Lifeline for Rural India

📝 Important Notes on VB–G RAM G
Currently, there is no dedicated official government portal live yet for the new VB-G RAM G law (the law replacing MGNREGA) — but it is officially legislated:
✔ The Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) Act, 2025 has been enacted by the Parliament of India, replacing the older MGNREGA framework. This is confirmed by credible sources including legislative records.
Note: As of now (January 2026), specific registration or official scheme portals for VB-G RAM G have not been launched on the government websites; these are expected to be published soon by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India once implementation modules are completed.
