Who is responsible

  • Rural Development Department, BiharOwns the three-tier panchayati raj administration, block development and rural infrastructure delivery in Bihar.

Rural employment guarantee wages (earlier MGNREGA, now VB–G RAM G with 125 days) are credited against muster rolls: the MIS record shows whether the delay is at the block, bank or payment stage.

Important condition: MGNREGA became VB–G RAM G on 1 July 2026: old e-KYC job cards remain valid, but confirm current portal names at the panchayat.
