Can Universal Basic Income work in India?

In this episode, we talk about Universal Basic Income (UBI). Sikkim, is now going to be India’s first state to fully implement it. First, Liz Mathew joins us to explain how the Sikkim Democratic Front, the state’s ruling party plans to financially support this. Then we try to analyse whether UBI can work for the entire country. Can it reduce inequality? Is it economically feasible? And will it make people lazy or unwilling to work as some people say it might? P Vaidyanathan Iyer joins us to answer these questions.
