In continuation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan’, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman today, in her second tranche of Centre’s INR 20 lakh crore fiscal stimulus, addressed the challenges of food, shelter and livelihood faced by migrant workers, street vendors and small farmers.
From the CEO’s desk “We must take care of the basic needs of those at the bottom of the pyramid. It must be addressed irrespective of how large or small a business they work for, and should be much higher than the existing INR 15,000/month threshold.” Vishesh C.
