On March 25, Congress Chief Rahul Gandhi announced that Rs 72000 per year will be given as minimum income to poor families, if his party was voted to power. The 'NYAY' schemehas come under intense scrutiny. Can it really be implemented? Can the economy afford the scheme? Top economists gathered to discuss the feasibility of the scheme. Watch the video.

While former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan said that the NYAY scheme announced by Congress will promote growth at the grassroot level, he remained skeptical about whether the economy can afford such a scheme. Economists gathered to discuss the feasibility of the scheme. Watch what they had to say.

MIT professor Abhijit Banerjee who was consulted by the Congress Party before it introduced the  minimum income guarantee programme says NYAY will be implemented in 2 phases and will involve a set of exclusion criteria that will make government employees, car owners or owners of a pucca house in a city or a large village automatically ineligible for the scheme aimed at the poor. This exclusion criteria will be based on the Social Economic Caste Census 2011. Businesstoday.in editor Rajeev Dubey speaks to Banerjee for more details

NYAY scheme: \"The first year they're only aiming for the poorest of the poor who're actually relatively easy to target,\" said MIT Economics professor Abhijit Banerjee.

Only the poorest of the poor will be targeted in the first year which is relatively easy, however, it will be more difficult to identify the second phase of beneficiaries as the data is nearly a decade old, Banerjee said.

Noted Professor of Economics at MIT Abhijit Banerjee who was consulted by Congress Party on the NYAY programme had suggested a minimum income guarantee of Rs 2,500 per month, keeping in mind the fiscal discipline. Congress, however, announced a more expansive Rs 6,000 crore a month with an outlay of Rs 3.60 lakh crore. Banerjee who is in India to launch his new book \"What the Economy Needs Now' which is being co-authored with 13 economists, including Raghuram Rajan and Gita Gopinath, Banerjee, speaks to Businesstoday.in editor Rajeev Dubey about the scheme.
