Telangana Cabinet Decides to Implement VB-GRAM G, Plans Supreme Court Challenge
The Cabinet discussed the implementation of the VB-GRAM G Act introduced by the Central Government.
It expressed strong objection to several provisions of the Act, stating that the Centre introduced it without consulting the states.
The Cabinet recalled that the Telangana Legislative Assembly had already passed a resolution in January opposing changes to the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA) and had sent it to the Centre.
The Cabinet decided to once again communicate its protest to the Central Government.
Cabinet Sub-Committee Recommendations
The Cabinet discussed recommendations submitted by the Cabinet Sub-Committee headed by Minister Uttam Kumar Reddy.
According to the recommendations, the Centre’s unilateral decision to implement the VB-GRAM G scheme, which places an additional financial burden on the state, is against the spirit of federalism and the constitutional spirit.
Officials informed the Cabinet that all other states had decided to implement the new law.
Considering the need to ensure employment for MGNREGA workers, the Cabinet approved the issuance of a notification implementing the VB-GRAM G Act in Telangana with effect from July 1, 2026.
However, the Cabinet also decided to:
- Challenge the provisions of the Act before the Supreme Court.
- Raise the issue in Parliament against the Centre’s approach.

The government said the decision is intended to provide quality nutrition to children while increasing accountability in educational institutions.
