The debate between Cash vs in-kind transfers is never-ending. We need to find a more feasible solution on case by case basis

Paper-2 [Unit- (C)Social Changes in India]
{Challenges of Social Transformation- Illiteracy and disparities in education
}

What is Universal Basic Income (UBI)?
The Economic Survey 2016-17 has recommended Universal Basic Income (UBI) as an alternative to the various subsidy focused social welfare schemes that aim to reduce poverty.
UBI is a sum of money provided by the State to all citizens to take care of the bare necessities of life. 
This provides a โ€œsafety net preventing any citizenโ€ from sinking below a basic minimum standard of living
A basic income is an income unconditionally granted to all citizens on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement.


components:
Universality: UBI for all
Unconditionality: UBI without any conditions.
Agency: UBI can make a citizen move away from being a subject of government welfare programmes to agents of its own change.


Significance

Significance
It will guarantee to each individual a minimum income for a dignified life with access to basic goods.
The scheme will provide every citizen unconditional cash transfer in place of the many benefits, like health facilities, fertiliser, fuel, food subsidies etc.
The payments could help stabilise the economy during recessionary periods.
It will promote social justice by reducing poverty.
Increase the purchasing power of every poor which will further increase aggregate demand.
Easy to implement because no identification of the beneficiary is involved.
