Congress Revisits NYAY Promise: Rs 1 Lakh/Year For Impoverished Women
In a move that signals a resurgence of its commitment to social welfare programs, the Congress party has revisited its NYAY (Nyuntam Aay Yojana) promise, proposing a significant financial aid package for poor women.
Rekindling the NYAY Promise
Under the NYAY scheme, eligible women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds would receive an annual financial support of Rs 1 lakh.
Background
NYAY, initially proposed during the 2019 general elections, aimed to provide a minimum income guarantee to the poorest households in India. However, the program did not materialize as the Congress party faced electoral defeat.
Reviving Hope
The revisiting of the NYAY promise comes amidst growing calls for inclusive economic policies and support for marginalized communities, particularly in the wake of the economic challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Implications
If implemented, the proposed financial aid could potentially alleviate financial burdens and empower women from low-income households, contributing to their socio-economic upliftment.
As Congress revisits its NYAY promise, it signals a renewed focus on addressing poverty and inequality through targeted social welfare initiatives, particularly aimed at empowering women from disadvantaged backgrounds.
