Parliament's Lok Sabha has passed the VB GRAM G Bill (Viksit Bharat Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission - Gramin), intended to replace the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). Opposition MPs protested against the Bill's passage. According to madhyamamonline, opposition MPs staged a protest march inside Parliament specifically over the removal of Mahatma Gandhi's name from the rural jobs scheme, and despite the uproar, the Bill was passed by voice vote and the House was adjourned for the day. According to WION, the Bill changes the right to work, the funding structure, and the planning model previously established under MGNREGA.
