Cash Relief makes unconditional cash transfers to very poor people and families to help them overcome poverty. Cash Relief does not tell them how to u Read morese this money and relies on the receiver's sound judgement to make best use of it. The pilot project conducted at Udaipur was an attempt to understand if giving unconditional money to the ultra-poor will change the direction of their lives for the better. A fixed amount of Rs. 96000 was given to every household in the selected village. This amount was transferred to the account of the oldest woman member of each family. No time limit was set to utilize this amount. The decision to use the money is left completely to the household. The project was tracked continuously to understand how families use up this fund to make their lives better.

    Each individual is unique, with distinct needs and aspirations. Cash provides the impoverished with the flexibility to allocate resources according to their own priorities. Some may choose to invest in healthcare and education, while others may opt to take entrepreneurial risks and establish small businesses. Our hypothesis asserts that providing unconditional cash transfers to the ultra-poor can facilitate their journey out of poverty.

    In India, the latest rural poverty line stands at Rs. 972 per month. For an average household of four, this amounts to Rs. 3,888 per month. Consequently, each household will receive a lump sum of Rs. 96,000, equivalent to what they might have managed to save over a period of approximately three years.

    The total cost of this pilot project is estimated at Rs. 38 lakhs. Of this, Rs. 32.6 lakhs will directly fund the cash transfers, with the remainder allocated for overhead expenses such as fundraising, transfer fees, operational costs, etc.
