Independent resource

This website is an independent informational resource and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of India.

Yojana Disha is not an official government website. It is an independent portal that explains how to use MGNREGA and related rural scheme services. We have no connection with the Ministry of Rural Development or any state government, and no official is answerable for what we publish.

Information only

Everything here is general information. We work hard to keep it accurate, and our fact-check policy explains how, but rules, wage rates and portal links change, sometimes without notice. Always confirm anything that affects your money on the official portal at nrega.dord.gov.in before acting on it.

Schemes change, and this one just did

Rural employment in India moved from MGNREGA to the VB-G RAM G Act on 1 July 2026, with new wage rates issued at the same time. During a change of that size, portals lag, states move at different speeds, and different official pages can briefly disagree with each other. Where we know a detail is still settling, we say so rather than presenting it as final.

No official transactions

We cannot issue job cards, add or remove a name from any list, correct a record, mark attendance, or release a payment. Nobody on this site can. For any official action, use the government portal or your gram panchayat office.

No fees, ever

Applying for a job card, checking a list, tracking a payment and filing a complaint are all free. We never charge for anything, and no government service on this site costs money. If anyone asks you to pay for a job card, to add your name to a list, or to release a payment that is stuck, treat it as a warning sign and complain on the MGNREGA helpline 1800-111-555.

Our tools

The tools on this site help you estimate a figure or draft a letter. They calculate inside your own browser. They do not submit anything to any department, do not change any record, and are not an application of any kind.

External links

We link to official and third-party sites for your convenience. Once you leave this site we are not responsible for the content or accuracy of what you find, and that site's own terms and privacy policy apply.

Liability

Information is provided as is, without warranty. We are not liable for loss arising from reliance on it. If you spot something wrong, tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.
