57 lakh active MGNREGA workers pending e-KYC verification under VB GRAM G initiative
GK and monthly revision
57 lakh active workers await e-KYC under VB GRAM G
The Centre's assurance that existing e-KYC verified job cards remain valid until new Gramin Rozgar Guarantee Cards are issued highlights ongoing implementation challenges in MGNREGA. With 57 lakh active workers awaiting e-KYC verification under VB GRAM G, repeated missed deadlines by states indicate systemic delays in digital verification processes. This affects wage payments and social security delivery to rural workers, making it a critical governance issue for competitive exams focusing on rural development schemes and digital governance.
