(Rs. in crore)

|   SI. No. | Financial Year             | Budget Estimate   | Revised Estimate   |
|-----------|----------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|
|         1 | 2020-21                    | 61,500.00         | 1,11,500.00        |
|         2 | 2021-22                    | 73,000.00         | 98,000.00          |
|         3 | 2022-23                    | 73,000.00         | 89,400.00          |
|         4 | 2023-24                    | 60,000.00         | 86,000.00          |
|         5 | 2024-25                    | 86,000.00         | 86,000.00          |
|         6 | 2025-26 (as on 18.03.2026) | 86,000.00         | 88,000.00          |

There is no State/UT-wise allocation of funds under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS.    State/UT-wise, details of total funds  released  under Mahatma Gandhi NREGS since 2020-21 to current financial year 202526 (as on 31.01.2026) are given at Annexure-II.

(c) to (e): The  Viksit  Bharat-Guarantee  for  Rozgar  and  Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) VB-G RAM G Act, 2025, provides for one hundred and twenty-five days of guaranteed wage employment in a financial year to every rural household whose adult members volunteer to do unskilled manual work.

As the Act is yet to commence, the Ministry is yet to finalise the detailed rules, including those relating to normative allocation based on objective parameters, in due consultation with States/UTs.

Here it is also stated that for the financial year 2026-27, a Central share provision of Rs. 95,692.31 crore has been made for the Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin), representing the largest allocation ever for rural  employment progamme at Budget Estimate Stage. With the likely inclusion of the corresponding estimated State share, the total programme outlay is likely to exceed Rs.1.51 lakh crore, which is expected to significantly accelerate rural transformation, large-scale employment generation and income enhancement in rural areas.
