From which date did the VB-G RAM G Act, 2025 come into force across rural India?
- A.1 April 2026
- B.1 July 2026
- C.2 October 2026
- D.1 January 2026
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 1 July 2026. The Act was passed in 2025 and was brought into force on that date, after which it was rolled out in every rural area of the country. The changeover from the earlier rural employment guarantee law was described as seamless, because the digital systems that support verification, monitoring and payment were already working when the new framework began. Option A is the start of the financial year and is a natural guess, but it is not the commencement date. Option C is a date associated with several government campaigns and anniversaries, not with this statute. Option D is the start of the calendar year and has no connection with the mission. Candidates should pair the commencement date with the progress cut-off used in the backgrounder, which reports figures as they stood on 24 September 2026.
