First instalment of ₹25,863 crore under VB-GRAM G released

The Union Minister for Rural Development and Agriculture, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, has released the first instalment amounting to ₹25,863 crore to all States for the rural employment programme under the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to provide employment opportunities in rural areas. The programme is designed to address the issue of unemployment in rural India. The release of funds is expected to have a positive impact on the rural economy. However, concerns have been raised over centralised planning and technological barriers that may affect the implementation of the programme. The government has allocated a significant amount of funds for the programme, which will be utilised to provide employment opportunities to people in rural areas. The programme is expected to benefit a large number of people and contribute to the overall development of rural India. The Union Minister's move to release the first instalment of funds is seen as a significant step towards achieving the goals of the programme. The government is committed to providing support to the rural population and addressing the issue of unemployment in rural areas.
