The editorial
Source: The Economic Times · 1 Jul 2020In a short address to the nation on Tuesday afternoon, Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered both reassurance and a warning. By extending the earlier April-June PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana — which gave about 80 crore Indians cereals and lentils for free — till November, livelihoods battered by the Covid-19-instigated lockdown will have a cushion.
This was necessary, without delay, for vulnerable as ‘food for work’ needed to be supplemented in its current state. Food Corporation of India’s (FCI) excess stocks will reach the needy, and not rot, either. The PM’s ‘One Nation, One Ration Card’ (ONOR) scheme is equally welcome. Announced by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in May, it would go national by March 2021 and remove a disincentive for migrant workers to return to their urban places of work.
