What happened
Telangana set a record for the implementation of the VB-G RAM G employment scheme on Tuesday, providing jobs to 5,00,166 persons. This sharp rise in demand for rural employment was a response to drought conditions caused by the El Nino weather system. Nalgonda district led the state, providing employment to 53,280 persons.

Why it matters
The severity of the El Nino impact is highlighted by the average daily attendance in October this year standing at 2.16 lakh, compared to only 24,750 in October last year. The state's large-scale employment program provides immediate labor demand and economic relief in districts facing drought.
