Where are we going with welfare schemes?

Recently Modi Government has announced to give 10% reservation to the poor. Under this, any person coming in the general category, whose income is Rs 8 lakh Less than a year, the benefits of reservation in government colleges and jobs will be given. This announcement of the government gives rise to many kinds of contradictions. On the one hand, it is compulsory to pay income tax to those above the annual income of 5 lakhs, on the other hand, the income of Rs 8 lakh is considered poor. Apart from this, how much vacancies are available in additional seats and jobs in colleges. Recently, 2.5 million applications have been received for 90,000 vacancies of Railways. Where will the fund come from to fulfill the conditions of this new announcement of reservation? What will happen to the fiscal deficit due to these welfare schemes? Not only this announcement of the government, but other schemes have also been such that the curse is being created for the public
exchequer.



An example of MNREGA can be taken in these schemes. In 2015, the Prime Minister himself called it 'a memorial of Congress failure'. But after two years of drought, the Modi government not only considered it proper to run it but instead provided the additional amount of Rs 6,084 crore for it, and reached the record high in 2018-19.

Under this scheme, lakhs of ponds were dug up from 2014 to 2019, many animal farms were built, and several thousand Anganwadi centers were set up.

In the last three years, employment was available to 5 crore people through MNREGA every year.

Not only this, the government, small and marginal farmers, affected by the Rath Yatra scheme of the Telangana government, Announced announcing annually.

All the government has started paying 75,000 crore rupees annually in the bank accounts of the farmers. Indications are given to increase this amount in the coming years. Rs 500 for backward farmers There is also a plan to provide monthly allowance.

The benefits of money in bank accounts have often been seen only by landowners. According to critics, there will be no benefit to the farmers who cultivate the small holdings and the share. The truth is that after the announcement of the debt waiver in the forthcoming elections and the winning states of the opposition party, the Modi government still does not want to be behind.

Last month, 13 Indian economists have concluded with mutual consultation that in the absence of an inclusive and sustainable progress agenda, the government has to resort to resources like debt forgiveness and reservation. Economists believe that the MNREGA and the Prime Minister's Rural Housing Scheme are being run for the poor. People standing apart from this class are beginning to worry about the future of themselves and their children.

Is it true that for a country like India, can it be enriched by running welfare schemes at such a wide level?
