Economic & Political WeeklySummary: By consolidating rural employment expenditure into a centrally planned flagship programme—the Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin)—the budget moves away from a demand-responsive employment guarantee towards a normatively planned and fiscally capped framework. Such a shift redefines how employment risk is managed, weakening the countercyclical and insurance functions of public employment and transferring residual labour risk from the state to rural households.-Reproduced
