How many days of wage employment does the VB-G RAM G Act guarantee in a financial year?
- A.100 days
- B.120 days
- C.125 days
- D.150 days
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 125 days. The VB-G RAM G Act provides a statutory guarantee of 125 days of wage employment in every financial year to each rural household whose adult members volunteer for unskilled manual work. Option A, 100 days, is the figure students most often recall because it belonged to the earlier arrangement under the Mahatma Gandhi NREGA, which this framework has replaced; the new law raises the entitlement, so 100 is wrong here. Option B, 120 days, appears in no part of the framework and is simply a near miss designed to catch a hurried reader. Option D, 150 days, overstates the guarantee and is also not supported. Along with the number of days, candidates should hold on to the shape of the entitlement: it belongs to the household rather than the individual, it runs by financial year, and it is tied to volunteering for unskilled manual work. The Act came into force on 1 July 2026 and works are taken up in four thematic areas, among them water security and core rural infrastructure.
