He highlighted that the VB–GRAMG Act aims to strengthen livelihood security, promote transparency, and empower rural households through guaranteed employment and effective convergence of schemes at the Panchayat level.

They were encouraged to actively participate in Gram Sabhas to ensure that local needs and priorities are duly reflected in development plans.
