Indian States Implement Cash Transfers to Support Educated Unemployed Youth
Several Indian states have introduced cash transfer programs targeting educated unemployed youth, providing temporary financial support alongside skill training and internships. These initiatives vary in eligibility and conditionalities, aiming to bridge income gaps while promoting employability.
