A #thread on some of the important learnings. Identification: A crucial challenge is rectifying identification issues since multiple schemes are administered. The findings also highlight the need for convergence and consolidation of various individual schemes. (2/n)
Targeting: Two sets of stakeholders require more focussed targeting - one, the urban poor and two, unorganised workers. This includes millions of #MigrantWorkers and informal sector employees who have faced a loss of income due to job losses (3/n)
Implementation: The scheme is built upon twelve existing schemes. Multiple schemes mean many visits and follow-ups leading to challenges of delays and enforcement of precautionary behaviour, over and above the inadequacy of the quantum of relief (4/n)
