A PUBLIC awareness campaign for the Government’s Viksit Bharat - Ji Ram Ji Kanoon 2025 (VB–G RAM G) Scheme was launched in Vidisha this week, aimed at informing villagers about new opportunities in employment, skill development, and sustainable projects. The campaign, part of a broader drive to promote self-reliant villages and rural prosperity, seeks to engage local communities and ensure that the benefits of the scheme reach every eligible household. Under VB–G RAM G, the guaranteed employment period in rural areas has been extended from 100 to 125 days, providing additional work and income to rural families.

 

The initiative also focuses on skill training programs and selfemployment opportunities, helping villagers acquire practical skills and generate sustainable livelihoods. Sustainable development projects in villages are another key component, ensuring that economic growth goes hand in hand with environmental and social responsibility. Speaking at the campaign launch at the BJP district office, Panchayati Raj, Rural Development, and Labour Minister Prahlad Singh Patel emphasised that the campaign is a critical step in translating the government’s vision of selfreliant villages into action.

 

“Through VB–G RAM G, we are not just providing employment; we are empowering rural communities with skills, opportunities, and dignity,” he said. The campaign also aims to encourage active public participation, inviting villagers to engage in local development projects and share ideas for improving livelihoods.

 

The event was attended by local leaders and MLAs, including Suryaprakash Meena, Mukesh Tandon, Hari Sapre, Jitendra Baghel, and Captain Singh Yadav, alongside senior journalists. Officials say that this awareness drive is crucial for ensuring that rural residents understand and access the scheme, maximizing its impact on employment, skill-building, and village development.
