On January 11, 2019, Sikkim,
though being a smallest state have set a initiative to introduce UBI (Universal
Basic Income) in the entire nation. Sikkim’s long lasting Chief Minister and
head of Sikkim’s ruling party (Sikkim democratic front) Mr. Pawan Kumar
Chamling, quoted that if everything goes right then Sikkim would be the first
state to implement Universal Basic Income system and execute it by 2022.This
scheme is also regarded as an alternative to social welfare programmes with
benefits towards reducing poverty.
· The
UBI basically is an income given to families irrespective what do they do. It
means everyone and every household will get an income irrespective of their
profession.
· In
other words, it is a step taken by the government to alleviate poverty by
providing a basic income to all citizens
· This
same scheme has been tested even in India. The UBI has been tried in Gujarat,
Madhya Pradesh and the results are not turned to be positive.
