Scope for manual earth work like digging of canals is limited in cities. An urban MGNREGA might not provide employment and create assets as it’s expected to.
The internet infrastructure, if put in place, would continue to provide the best in education experience to India's hinterlands even in post-Covid era.
The Covid crisis must help change the anti-urban mindset that investment in urban infrastructure and services improvement will make cities more ‘attractive’ for rural migrants.
Indian cities have shown resilience in overcoming challenges. Yet, resilience has not always resulted in improving urban governance and improving lives of urban poor.
The optimism of rural residents with regard to panchayats is striking compared to the largely despondent accounts of slum residents about urban local bodies.
The National Policy on Archaeological Excavation and Explorations, which was approved in 2015, mentioned the need for problem-oriented, long-term research projects covering various time periods.

In service with the British military since 2019, it is also known as the Martlet missile. Ukrainians have also deployed these missiles against Russian troops.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
The article does not state who came up with this great idea of Urban MGNREGA. If it is the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s idea, I would say that he is the worst populist politician after UPA. Indira Gandhi spoke lot of populism and spoke of Garibi Hatao. She did not spend anything to follow as she had no clue about eradication of poverty. UPA found a way of drainign the treasury by distributing largess through MGNREGA. Now, Modi has to do better than UPA. I am sorry to note that the originality of thinking which prevailed in Modi 1.0 has been lost. Now, BJP is no different from Congress. Little wonder that India has no money for defence upgradation while the enemy is standing at the gate.
Ila ma’am has argued well. However, it would be great to know what she’d suggest to address the collapse of incomes of urban poor. In her earlier videos ma’am has suggested that getting people out to work and spend safely is the best stimulus there is. Seems like vaccine is atleast 6 months away, what do we do?
