ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS Paper 2: welfare delivery and State-level governance. Free-electricity guarantees raise issues of targeting, beneficiary verification and fiscal burden on State finances and discoms; the refusal of over one lakh households to join the survey shows the trust and data-privacy gaps in verification. The way forward lies in transparent, consent-based Aadhaar-linked verification, clear communication that the benefit is not at risk, and fiscal planning for subsidy sustainability.
