It's Dayananda Saraswati not Vivekananda. Please go through SFG solutions once again same has been given in explanation part.
Rationality is not automatic, we have to take steps create mechanism and system to constrain irrational behavior. Ideally parents should be sending their kids to school and cut down other non-essential expenditure , but we don't find that happening. So govt has to bring free and compulsory education and MDM. I don't think universalisation of primary education could have been achieved by simply giving direct transfers. The only condition is that govt steps should not be coercive.
And It's not simply a demand side issue , the private sector operates on profit motive , it will offer choice only if it's remunerative. Consequently we see huge disparities in distribution of hospitals and schools. I would really like to know how Ayushman Bharat fared during CoVid , haven't read any article about it. Was the insurance model able to help people get medical care, or should building facilities would have been a better bet .
I am very adamant on point of Universal basic services, I can't let the govts wash their hands off their responsibility by transferring doles. They have to create infra even if it means building a school for just 10 kids in a villages. And thanks to corona I hope govts prioritise social infra over cash transfers.
Enriching discussion this has been for me.

What explains the aversion of shanta kumar committee and niti aayog towards NFSA. Shanta kumar recommended curtailing coverage from present 66.6% to 40% and niti also made a similar call recently. And is DBT a real substitute for food grains? Given the patriarchal nature wouldnt the money be controlled by male of the family and I know it's a cynical view but how would you ensure that the money actually goes towards nutrition and not towards alcohol, and other vices or priorities. Further , when govt provides food theoretically there's some minimum standard , regardless of how much the inflation is people get food. If DBT isn't inflation adjusted people won't be able to purchase food.m when tomatoes go 100 and onions 80.
And This is being recommended when GHI ranking shows india as one of the hungriest country of the world. Further, CoVid ke time par when the even the much vaunted middle class has shrunk by 3 crore and lining up for ration, niti aisa kyu suggest krega.
Give me counter arguments.
Advantages of DBT in food :
1. Every family can choose food to consume according to its own nutritional requirements
2. reduced fiscal deficit ->govt can improve delivery in healthcare and education.
3. DBT- with JAM- ensures money directly reaches to the beneficiary and the middle men do not consume it ->inclusion exclusion errors are less
4. FCI ->reduces the cost of holding of food grains ->use the food grains during inflation etc
5. Family can spend excess money if any for health issues, education
6. wastages of food can be stopped ->FCI wastes so much grains every year.
issues :
1. Families using the money for other things ->marriages, alchohol , other purchases->impacts nutritional levels
2. JAM linkages hindrances for the poorer sections ->inclusion exclusion error
3. Inflation issue
4. Fiscal burden on govt->whom to include and how much to provide
way forward (with DBT):
1. To reduce inclusion exclusion error :
- identifying benefeciairies
- proper linkage estbalished through jan dhan account and addhar authentication
2. DBT in the name of women member of the family and only she can withdrew the money from her account
3. regulation of food prices in the market ->through flow of grains thorugh FCI procured through MSP

The DBT will be given on the basis of ration cards, as it is related to food provisioning. The ration cards are issued in the name of the female head of the household. The ration card has linked to it the bank account of the female head under whose name the ration card is issued. The DBT will be made to this bank account only and most of these bank accounts would be under the PM Jan Dhan Yojana regime and hence I think the DBT funds would be under the direct disposal of these female heads only in most of the cases barring some exceptions and they will decide on how to spend the amount received via this DBT.
And though DBT has several flaws in it but still it is a potential way forward keeping in mind the corruption, ill practices and the discretions the food grain allotters/distributors enjoy under the existing food grain provisioning system.
Having in her account won't ensure she spends it. Authority of males in the family has to be taken into consideration.

Agreed. That’s why I typed there will be few exceptions.
Also, in the pursuit of finding some numerical backing in order to make sure that what all I was conveying was even making sense or not, I came across this 👇🏼

President can act on his discretion with regards of :
1. Dismissal of the council of ministers when it cannot prove the confidence of the lok sabha.
2. Dissolution of the Lok Sabha if the council of ministers has lost its majority.
Now my question is is this a natural progression of events or can these two happen separately? if yes then in which situations?
Targets for priority sector lending by Primary (Urban) Co-operative Banks (UCBs) 10% of the priority sector advances or 10% of the total net bank credit, whichever is higher should go to weaker section.
