'Necessary' for sustainable recovery after Covid-19 pandemic

Standing crops like wheat, paddy, mustard, chana, chillies, pulses etc, are ready for harvest in many parts of India but the lockdown and restrictions have created a situation where harvesting, transport and marketing is curtailed.

By front-loading PM-Kisan, the Centre has transferred Rs 13,855 crore as the first instalment of Rs 2,000 to each of the 6.93 crore farmers as on Friday, the finance ministry tweeted.

While four of the MPC members voted in favour of the eventual 75-basis point (bps) cut, external members Chetan Ghate and Pami Dua argued for a 50-bps cut, the minutes, released on Monday, showed.

The transfer of around Rs 17,400 crore under the PM-Kisan is being front-loaded. However, most of these interventions will benefit the rural poor more than their urban counterparts, according to analysts.

In its status report submitted earlier, the Centre had said that all the steps were being taken for the welfare and benefit of migrant workers.
