All of the above are examples of social safety net programs that can improve HDI.
- Public Distribution System (PDS) is a food security system in India that provides subsidized food grains to India’s poor. It is one of the largest social safety net programs in the world, and it has been credited with reducing poverty and hunger in India.
- Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) is a national rural employment guarantee scheme in India. It is the world’s largest public works program, and it provides employment to rural households who are willing to work. The scheme has been credited with reducing poverty and unemployment in rural India.
- Midday Meal Scheme is a school meal program in India that provides free lunches to students in government and government-aided schools. The scheme is one of the largest school meal programs in the world, and it has been credited with improving school attendance and nutrition among children in India.
These programs provide a safety net for the poor and vulnerable, and they help to improve their access to food, education, and healthcare. This can lead to improvements in health, education, and income, which can in turn lead to improvements in HDI.
