Bars = evidence-weighted activity per month. Highlighted bars are the recent window that drives the label.
Signal interpretation. Activity continued at roughly the prior pace — 3 actions in the last 3 months, in line with the 6-month baseline.
- Jul 2026 Rules notified The scheme replacing MGNREGA now has operating rules. ✓
- Aug 2026 Committee report Do rural skilling schemes actually lead to jobs? Parliament's committee checked.
- ~16 Sep Update EPFO wage ceiling raised to Rs 25,000 per month ✓
For you
- StudentRural households: check what changed from MGNREGA's guarantees.
- Gig workerIf you or your family rely on rural wage work, these rules decide days, wages and payment timelines.
- StudentIf you're from a rural district, this is the audit of the training schemes meant for you.

Nothing specific for this persona in the recent actions.
What this does not mean
- Activity is not importance. A topic with three high-stakes actions can matter more than one with ten routine ones.
What would make this signal fade: A session month with several actions would tip this to Heating up; two quiet months would tip it to Cooling.
