The Central Government has made an interim allocation of Rs 95,692 crore under the newly introduced VB-G RAM G scheme for a seamless transition. The Union Rural Development Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has noted that the interim allocation had been made as the draft rules of the new scheme were still being finalised and to ensure that rural employment and development activities continue uninterrupted after June 30.
The Rural Development Ministry highlighted that Uttar Pradesh has been allotted the highest interim allocation of Rs 9,721.48 crore, followed by West Bengal at Rs 8,508 crore, Tamil Nadu at Rs 7,585.49 crore, Rajasthan at Rs 7,581.87 crore, Andhra Pradesh at Rs 7,707.21 crore and Bihar at Rs 6,715.83 crore. The total allocation for states stands at Rs 92,550.17 crore, while Union territories have been allocated Rs 1,291.52 crore. An additional Rs 1,850.62 crore has been earmarked for central administration and social audits, taking the total to Rs 95,692.31 crore. The Chouhan noted that after adding the mandatory state contribution, the total annual outlay under the scheme would be around Rs 1.51 lakh crore.
Moreover, he pointed out that no state's allocation had been reduced and the interim allocation had been worked out on the basis of expenditure under the MGNREGA scheme in the previous year. He added that 26 states have completed the procedural requirements necessary for implementing the new scheme, while four states -- Jharkhand, Karnataka, Telangana and Mizoram -- are yet to complete all formalities. Further, the states have been asked to notify the state scheme, declare peak agricultural seasons, frame state rules, complete e-KYC of beneficiaries and undertake awareness and capacity-building exercises at district and block levels.
