Abolishing MNREGA After G-RAM G Bill: What Changes for Rural India?

What Is MNREGA And What Has Changed? The Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA) is a rights-based law. It assures up to 100 days of guaranteed unskilled manual work per year.

The President cleared the G-RAM G Bill (Gram Rozgar Avsar Modernisation and Growth Bill). This action is reshaping the policy landscape around rural employment.

Supreme Court Interventions: Safeguarding the Aravalli Range

The Aravalli range is under intense ecological stress from decades of quarrying and urban expansion. Protecting it now hinges on how India mines, maps and manages this ancient mountain system. Why the Aravallis matter The Aravallis are nearly two billion years old. They are India's oldest mountain range. These mountains stretch for about 650 km from Delhi to Gujarat. They act as a crucial barrier that slows the eastward spread of the Thar Desert. This helps protect the Indo‑Gangetic plains and parts of Haryana, Rajasthan, and western Uttar Pradesh from desertification. These hills moderate the local climate. They host rich…

Policy choices on intervention levels play a role too. Key points to understand: Record reserves do not imply guaranteed strong rupee; they only mean India can handle shocks better. A weaker rupee can be partly deliberate, supporting exports and absorbing global pressures. Gold and valuation gains can inflate reserve numbers even when underlying vulnerabilities remain. The rupee can weaken even when forex and gold reserves are at record highs. The exchange rate is…
