How many days of wage employment does the VB-G RAM G Act guarantee to an eligible rural household in a financial year?
- A.100 days
- B.125 days
- C.150 days
- D.200 days
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 125 days. The law provides a statutory guarantee of wage employment for 125 days in every financial year, and the guarantee is available to every rural household whose adult members volunteer for unskilled manual work. Option A is the figure people remember from the older rural employment law that this framework has replaced, which makes it the commonest wrong choice in the paper. Option C and option D are higher than anything the statute promises and appear in no official statement about the mission. Along with the number of days, remember that the guarantee is tied to four thematic areas: water security, core rural infrastructure, livelihood-related infrastructure and protection against extreme weather events. The framework also aims at empowerment, growth, convergence and saturation, and it works through plans prepared at the gram panchayat level and approved by the Gram Sabha.
