No this is entirely sincere, India has had a number of big programs like this and they have genuinely massively helped people out of poverty. Like hundreds of millions lifted out of poverty, critical infrastructure built in rural places to improve lifes, everything.

Obviously it is not ‘solved’, not yet at least. But poverty levels are dropping so that’s a good sign.

Technology helps a lot.

Earlier middlemen would steal govt handouts.

These days it's direct to bank transfer.

Introduction of government unique identity card has ensured the right people get the handouts.

No Indian should be hungry considering how much food India produces.

It is genuine. They have lifted 220+ million people from extreme poverty since 2014
