Work and livelihood

As in most of rural Rajasthan, people around Ummedabad live mainly off farming (wheat, mustard, gram and barley in the Rabi season, bajra, guar, moong, moth or groundnut in the Kharif season, depending on the area), along with dairy and job guarantee wage work. Since July 2026 that’s VB-G RAM G, which replaced MGNREGA: a household with a job card from the gram panchayat can get at least 125 days of paid work a year. Farmers can sign up for PM-KISAN and a Kisan Credit Card through the block agriculture office or a Common Service Centre.

Ummedabad Block office: BDO and contacts

The Vikas Adhikari (BDO) heads the Ummedabad block office, with assistant officers for agriculture, cooperatives, panchayats, social welfare and statistics. The elected Panchayat Samiti, made up of directly elected members and the Sarpanches of the block’s gram panchayats, chooses the Pradhan (Panchayat Samiti) and approves the block development plan.

Go to the Ummedabad block office for PM Awas Yojana (Gramin) houses, Swachh Bharat toilets, pension verification, job guarantee problems (VB-G RAM G, earlier MGNREGA) and complaints about a gram panchayat. You can also file a complaint on Rajasthan Sampark (sampark.rajasthan.gov.in) or call helpline 181.

Citizen services: how to get things done

MGNREGA (now VB-G RAM G) job card and work

  1. Apply for a job card at your gram panchayat with photos and Aadhaar of the adult members of the household. An old MGNREGA job card with e-KYC done stays valid until the new Gramin Rozgar Guarantee Card is issued.
  2. Ask for work in writing and keep the receipt. You now have a right to at least 125 days a year, and if work doesn’t come in the set time, you’re entitled to an unemployment allowance. Check attendance and wage payments on nrega.nic.in with your job card number.

Old-age, widow and disability pension

  1. Apply online on RajSSP (social security pension) (ssp.rajasthan.gov.in) or through an e-Mitra kiosk. Attach proof of age (or of your spouse’s death, or of disability), an income certificate, Aadhaar and your bank passbook.
  2. In villages, the Ummedabad Vikas Adhikari (BDO) verifies the application. Once it’s sanctioned, the pension goes straight into your bank account.

Ration card

  1. To get a new ration card or add family members, apply on Food and Civil Supplies Department, Rajasthan (food.rajasthan.gov.in) or through an e-Mitra kiosk. The card is made out in the name of the eldest woman of the household.
  2. In villages, Ummedabad block officials check the application and the supply inspector or District Supply Officer approves it.

Income, caste and domicile certificates

  1. Apply at an e-Mitra kiosk or on e-Mitra (emitra.rajasthan.gov.in). Take your Aadhaar, a photo and a signed self-declaration.
  2. The application goes to your Tehsil. The Patwari checks it in the village and the Girdawar (Bhu-Abhilekh Nirikshak) sends the report on.
  3. The Tehsildar issues a digitally signed certificate, usually within 7–15 working days. Track it online with your application number.

Complaints and Right to Information (RTI)

  1. Complain about any government service on Rajasthan Sampark (sampark.rajasthan.gov.in) or call 181. It goes to the officer responsible, and you can track what happens online.
  2. To find out what the panchayat spent and on which works, file an RTI application (₹10 fee) with the Public Information Officer at Ummedabad block. Works and payments are also listed on egramswaraj.gov.in.

Portals and procedures change, so check with the office before you apply. If a link has moved, look for the service by name on the portal's home page.
