“If the amount is distributed at a rate of Rs.1,000 to each women and there are thousands of beneficiaries the amount will transform into crores, and be reintroduced into the economy in one or the other method in contrast, if the exact amount (crores of rupees) is given to a single industrial company or corporate house as a loan, it won’t create enough jobs or all the money will return in the economy, therefore it is better to distribute money in additional hands” he claimed.
