Universal Basic Income in India

[Shiv Hastawala]

Hi there

I am excited to inform you that the debate regarding Universal Basic Income has been kicked off in India!

An entire chapter (ch. 9) has been dedicated to this concept and its implications in the context of India in the Latest Economic Survey of India (2016-17). For those who are unaware, this is a yearly publication of the Ministry of Finance, which sums up the economic scenario and development in the preceding year and charts out the prospects for the future.

Please find attached a copy of the same. Do go through the chapter once!

Best
