Telangana to write protest letter against VB-G RAM-G scheme: Minister
The Telangana government plans to formally protest the Union government's new VB-G RAM-G employment scheme, citing concerns over its implementation structure. State officials argue that the scheme's normative allocation of work days and mandatory 60-day breaks during agricultural seasons are impractical for local needs.

She also said that a final decision on the implementation of the scheme would be taken after consultations with Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy and the State Cabinet.
