Meticulous plans for implementing direct cash transfer scheme: FICCI

03 Dec 2012 Evaluate

Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) President R. V. Kanoria has said that meticulous planning and extension of banking network in the rural areas is required for implementation of the direct cash transfer scheme. The scheme aims at helping the government to contain the leakages and economize the subsidy bill and direct subsidies to the genuinely needy.

The government has proposed to roll out the Aadhaar-enabled cash transfer for 29 schemes from January 1 in 51 districts, spread over 16 states. It also plans to cover the entire nation by the end of December 2013. “The completion of the programme would prove to be the anchor for leveraging and rolling out any new welfare scheme introduced in the future,” Kanoria added.

Moreover, describing the scheme as a laudable initiative, Kanoria said that benefits of various social welfare programmes would reach to the intended beneficiaries in a timely and efficient manner.
