Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan and Decentralised Planning
Under MGNREGA, Gram Panchayats were the primary implementing agency and planning unit, with shelf-of-works prepared annually. VB-G RAM G introduces the "Viksit Gram Panchayat Plan" as the mandatory planning origin for all works. This plan must be aggregated upward through block and district levels into the "Viksit Bharat National Rural Infrastructure Stack," integrated with PM Gati Shakti's GIS-based infrastructure mapping. The planning framework thus connects village-level employment to national infrastructure goals — a convergence of welfare and development planning.
- The 73rd Constitutional Amendment (1992) inserted the Eleventh Schedule, listing 29 subjects for Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs), including rural development and public health.
- Article 243G empowers legislatures to endow PRIs with powers and authority for economic development and social justice.
- MGNREGA was widely credited with strengthening Gram Panchayats' financial and administrative capacity.
- VB-G RAM G mandates a National Level Steering Committee and State Committees for convergence and coordination.
