And pension for all
The HinduA universal pension scheme for social protection must be part of a broader strategy of economic expansion different from the present neoliberal order. In other words, it is not only that low levels of gross domestic product reduce the perceived possibility for providing citizens with their basic social and economic rights, it is also that the state's neglect of such rights and the associated failure to provide enough public resources for them reduces the possibilities for sustainable and equitable economic growth based on the domestic market. Over May 7-11 in the nation's capital, an important dharna was held at Jantar Mantar to make the demand for a universal pension scheme applicable to all citizens of India. Many developing countries have implemented such universal pension schemes, including those much poorer than India, with lower per capita incomes and less potential resources with the state.
