NEW DELHI: Government's tailor-made programmes, including the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKAY), played a key role in saving the poor and vulnerable section from the impact of inflation, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Tuesday.
Quoting the recent United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report on the impact of inflationary surge over the specified three poverty lines based on per day income, she said, India has been termed as an economy that will see a negligible to low impact on people falling into poverty due to inflation-led price spike.
