Prime Minister Narendra Modi will disburse Rs 2,400 crore worth of incentives under the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rojgar Yojana (PM-VBRY) in New Delhi on Friday, June 19, 2026. Union Labour Minister Mansukh Mandaviya stated that 15 lakh beneficiaries will receive the incentive as a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The Prime Minister will also interact with a few first-time employees and employers benefiting under the scheme. The total outlay for the programme is Rs 99,446 crore, which is targeted to create 3.5 crore jobs in two years. Under the scheme, first-time employees will get benefits worth Rs 15,000, while employers will receive up to Rs 3,000 per month per new employee. The scheme aims to boost employment in the manufacturing sector, with extended benefits being provided for up to four years. Since August 2025, more than 63 lakh first-time employees have been brought into the formal workforce under PM-VBRY, of which nearly 30% are women. More than 80% of establishments incentivised under Part B are small enterprises with fewer than 25 workers, highlighting the scheme's role in supporting small and emerging enterprises. On Friday, various Chief Ministers and Cabinet Ministers will attend the programme virtually from 200 industrial clusters in their respective States. Regional programmes will be organised simultaneously at these industrial clusters, attended by Governors, Chief Ministers, Union Ministers, Deputy Chief Ministers, State Labour Ministers, MPs, MLAs, Mayors and other dignitaries.
