    Rajasthan becomes first state to bring in Minimum Guaranteed Income Bill

    The bill was passed by a voice vote in state Assembly on Friday.

    This bill also makes social pension a legal right for various categories of people.

    In a video message, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot said that Rajasthan is the first state in country to have a minimum guaranteed income law.

    “This act is on four laws enacted during former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’ regime-Right to Information Act, Right to Education Act, Right to Food Act and MGNREGA.”

    The bill promises a minimum pension of Rs 1000 to old people, specially-abled, widows and single women under social security pension schemes.
