Lucknow, December 21: Uttar Pradesh has achieved a remarkable milestone in FY 2025-26 under the Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme. Led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state has set a benchmark in rural livelihoods by providing employment to over 23 lakh women this year. The VB G RAM G (MGNREGA) mission has boosted women’s incomes and strengthened their self-reliance.

Around 32,000 women supervisors have been employed so far, with over ₹111 crore directly credited to their accounts. Timely and transparent payments have further enhanced trust in government schemes. Priority is being given to members of women’s self-help groups under NRLM, fostering leadership and management skills among rural women while generating employment.

Over 97% of workers have received timely payments, reflecting the system’s growing transparency and efficiency. A total of ₹6,703 crore has been spent under the scheme, accelerating village development, creating local jobs, and reducing migration. Special focus on Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe families ensures inclusive growth.

Through the employment guarantee scheme, Uttar Pradesh is laying a sustainable foundation for rural livelihoods, empowering millions of families and shaping a resilient rural economy.
