Quick note: VB-G RAM G stands for Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin). It replaced MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) from 1 July 2026 and now guarantees up to 125 days of wage employment per rural household in a financial year.
Under VB-G RAM G, worker attendance is recorded digitally instead of paper muster rolls. The National Mobile Monitoring System (NMMS) app captures a time-stamped, geo-tagged photo of workers twice a day at the worksite.
How Digital Attendance Works
- The Mate (worksite supervisor) opens the NMMS / VB-G RAM G attendance app.
- Workers are photographed at the site in the morning and afternoon.
- The photo is geo-tagged and uploaded to the server in real time.
- Attendance flows into the muster roll automatically, deciding wage days.
- Biometric authentication is being added to further prevent fake entries.
Why Digital Attendance Was Introduced
- Stops fake or ghost worker entries
- Ensures wages are paid only for genuine work
- Speeds up wage payment through automatic muster rolls
- Gives transparent, verifiable records for social audit
