Cash Relief (Agrani India Foundation)

Cash Relief makes unconditional cash transfers to very poor people and families to help them overcome poverty. Cash Relief does not tell them how to u Read morese this money and relies on the receiver's sound judgement to make best use of it. The pilot project conducted at Udaipur was an attempt to understand if giving unconditional money to the ultra-poor will change the direction of their lives for the better. A fixed amount of Rs. 96000 was given to every household in the selected village. This amount was transferred to the account of the oldest woman member of each family. No time limit was set to utilize this amount. The decision to use the money is left completely to the household. The project was tracked continuously to understand how families use up this fund to make their lives better.
