Only 15 paise reaches poor: SC quotes Rajiv in verdict
In its ruling on Aadhaar, the Supreme Court quoted former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's 1985 remark that only 15 paise of every rupee spent on welfare reaches the needy. The apex court said Aadhaar can take care of the problem of duplicate beneficiaries reaping benefits of welfare schemes meant for the genuine deprived class.
