Will cash transfers check migration? [1]

Direct cash transfers may curb migration among those who need to be at their native place to benefit from cash transfer

The country’s poor are bracing for what is dubbed as a potential game changer in the delivery of development. To monetise its support for the poor, the government has announced direct cash transfer of subsidies to the bank accounts of beneficiaries. To start with, the government will implement the system in 51 districts and extend it to the rest of the country by the end of 2013.
