Difficult times call for innovative solutions. While the pandemic wreaks havoc, governments all over the world have been finding ways to deal with the situation. With millions losing jobs, people are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet, as there is practically no income coming in.
And while the upper and middle-class people are managing the crisis fairly well, those below the poverty line are bearing the full brunt of the crisis at hand.
Among such attempts is the interesting proposition by the National Food Security Act with the Madhya Pradesh Government, which is aiming to provide food grains at really affordable prices to those who cannot possibly afford it in the current circumstances.
