&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development slams government laxity in raising amounts.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Centre must increase the &amp;ldquo;meagre&amp;rdquo; pensions provided for poor senior citizens, widows and disabled people, said the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development in its &lt;a href=&quot;/upload/files/13th%20report%20Standing%20Committee%20on%20Rural%20Development%202020-2021%2017th%20Lok%20Sabha%20MoRD.pdf&quot;&gt;report&lt;/a&gt; submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The panel also slammed the government&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;laxity in raising the amount, pointing out that recommendations to increase the sums have been made for the last two years as well.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The relevance of a marquee scheme like National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) in reaching out to the poor and downtrodden section of the society does not go amiss in the eyes of the Committee,&amp;rdquo; said the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;However, the Committee are baffled to observe the meagre amount of assistance ranging from ₹200 to ₹500 per month under the different components of this Scheme,&amp;rdquo; it added.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The panel pointed out that it had previously urged the increase of these miniscule pensions in its reports on the Department of Rural Development&amp;rsquo;s (DoRD) demand for grants in 2019-20 and 2020-21.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;However, to the utter dismay of the Committee, nothing much has been forthcoming so far. The Committee do not endorse the non-serious approach of DoRD on this issue. In view of this laxity, the Committee again vehemently recommends the DoRD to look into this issue with utmost sincerity and hasten their processes for bringing an increase in the assistance amount under NSAP,&amp;rdquo; said the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The relevance of a marquee scheme like National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) in reaching out to the poor and downtrodden section of the society does not go amiss in the eyes of the Committee,&amp;rdquo; said the report.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The panel pointed out that it had previously urged the increase of these miniscule pensions in its reports on the Department of Rural Development&amp;rsquo;s (DoRD) demand for grants in 2019-20 and 2020-21.&lt;/p&gt;

Panel flags Centre’s meagre pensions

-The Hindu Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development slams government laxity in raising amounts. The Centre must increase the “meagre” pensions provided for poor senior citizens, widows and disabled people, said the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development in its report submitted to the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The panel also slammed the government’s “laxity in raising the amount, pointing out that recommendations to increase the sums have been made for the last two years as well. “The relevance of a marquee scheme like National Social Assistance Programme (NSAP) in reaching out to the poor and downtrodden section of the society does not go amiss in the eyes of the Committee,” said the report. “However, the Committee are baffled to observe the meagre amount of assistance ranging from 200 to 500 per month under the different components of this Scheme,” it added. The panel pointed out that it had previously urged the increase of these miniscule pensions in its reports on the Department of Rural Development’s (DoRD) demand for grants in 2019-20 and 2020-21. “However, to the utter dismay of the Committee, nothing much has been forthcoming so far. The Committee do not endorse the non-serious approach of DoRD on this issue. In view of this laxity, the Committee again vehemently recommends the DoRD to look into this issue with utmost sincerity and hasten their processes for bringing an increase in the assistance amount under NSAP,” said the report.
