For several organisations and individuals associated with the employment guarantee programme, the writing has long been on the wall.
The most significant change concerns the guarantee of 100 days of employment. Under the G-RAM-G, work is now increasingly connected to government targets, budgets and notified areas.

What was an enforceable right to work, driven by workers’ demand and backed by the Centre’s obligation to fund it, has been recast as a discretionary, centrally controlled scheme with budget caps, blackout periods and political gatekeeping.
