Our government’s foresight in implementing life-changing policies for the less advantaged people of the country has been commendable to say the least. Now under the able leadership of our premier, the government is trying to implement the social safety net programme to make the country bloom in prosperity by 2041.

Social safety programme contributes to the reduction of poverty and vulnerability through various forms of assistance. According to a report published in this daily on Sunday, around 11crore people of the country are reaping the benefits of the social safety net programmes.

Successful implementation of the policies will 

help the government revitalise the rural economy

If these policies are implemented, it will help contribute to the reduction of poverty and vulnerability by addressing a range of population groups through different forms of assistance. These will include the provision of income security for the elderly. It will also generate money for working age men and women through employment, and will also support the healthy development of young mothers and children.

Government should ensure that the cash reaches real beneficiaries while disbursing the money from the safety net program. 

This can be done through the use of digital accounts so that beneficiaries can withdraw their money securely. Successful implementation of the policies will help the government revitalise the rural economy through vitality and enthusiasm.

To achieve this quest successfully it is crucial to constantly monitor the stimulus packages to make sure that those who are in need of the money the most are benefitted.
