Abstract :
Universal Basic Income has caught a lot of
attention in recent years, garnering an extensive exchange
of views from a multitude of academicians and
researchers. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of
Universal Basic Income in effectively confronting and
tackling hunger, undernourishment, poverty and their
concomitant repercussions in India. A wide range of the
Indian population has been and still is vulnerable to the
maladies of hunger and undernourishment. This paper
walks through the condition of India in perspective with
these problems over the past years, and discusses the
advent of Universal Basic Income as a feasible and
effective solution to fight them.
Modern innovations have dispossessed more than
half the inhabitants of every nation of their natural
inheritance, without providing for them, as ought to have
been done, an indemnification for that loss, and has
thereby created a species of poverty and wretchedness
that did not exist before1
. World is a shared place where
the whole income has to be shared among all. Universal
Basic Income is one such Policy. We live in a world with
widespread undernutrition, meager healthcare, and
dogged hunger, and to our chagrin, all of this is
aggravated by natural dire straits such as famines and
flood. We do hold a sustainable development goal to
eradicate hunger in the next 8 years, but as perceptible
from the dejected data, reports, and also a massive and
long-standing pandemic, we are nowhere in the girth of
the completion of the goal.
But whilst creating policies and strategies, there is an
inherent pessimism in our approaches and our reactions
to dealing with this massive problem. There are many
problem specific Policies, but there is a universal Policy
named as Universal Basic Income, which can act as a
weapon to attack everything at the same time. Universal
basic income (UBI) is a government program in which
every adult citizen receives a set amount of money
regularly. This paper focuses upon this economic Policy,

Edition," Pages 9-10. Accessed Oct. 2, 2021
which can solve the Problem of Indian Poverty, Hunger,
Under nourishment etc. These three2
are major problems.
This paper takes you through the predicaments of these
problems, specifically in India, the interconnections with
various economic facets, and the empirical
comprehension of the way Universal Basic Income would
be effective in letting us sail through.
