Universal basic income in India
 | It has been suggested that this article be merged into Basic income#India. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2013. |
Basic income in India refers to the debate and practical experiments with basic income in India. The debate has recently been fostered by the basic income-project organized by India’s Self Employed Women’s Association (SEWA) with support from UNICEF, which started 2011. The government has since then also declared that they will implement a national basic income, which began in January 2013.[1]
The village-projects
In total there are 20 villages in the project. The villagers in eight of these got basic income and the other villagers were control groups. As of September 2012, the number of people who have received basic income through the projects total 6460. These mostly consist of persons from poorer villages, but also include a couple of hundred from Delhi.[2]
