      Hi Taran
      Lackluster introduction, write the idea behind the Universal Basic Income -every person should have a right to a basic income to cover his needs, just by virtue of being a citizen.
      Then write the components of UBI.
      Before writing the challenges, write the benefits of UBI.
      Follow the proper structure.
      It is MGNREGA not MNREGA.
      Explain how UBI envisages an uncompromised social safety net .
      Good conclusion.
      Work on grammar and improve handwriting.
      Work hard,you will improve.

      Hi Parakh
      Good introduction.
      Work on your handwriting, your words in the flow chart are not legible.
      Before writing the issues, write the benefits of UBI.
      You can give points like-
      -will increase the purchasing power
      -will reduce poverty and income inequality in society.
      In the issues part, also mention that it can rise inflation.
      Conclusion is good.
      Need to work upon spellings.
      Write in proper structure to get better marks.
      Keep writing,you will improve.

      Hi Dakshina
      Good introduction.
      Do not explain your flow chart in paragraphs, if there is need to write in points then do not make a flow chart.
      You have explained the issues and measures in a decent manner.
      You can give the examples from around the world who have tried the idea of UBI in one form or the other like Canada and Finland.
      Good conclusion.
      Work on handwriting.
      Keep writing, you will succeed.

      Hi Mehul
      Need to rewrite your introduction, universal basic income is a regular, periodic cash payment delivered unconditionally to all citizens on an individual basis, without the requirement of work or willingness to work.
      There is no need to write issues under two different headings, instead give one heading and write under different subheadings.
      Give the examples from around the world who have tried the idea of UBI in one form or the other like Canada and Finland.
      Conclusion is missing,conclude by mentioning the potential of UBI in addressing the problems faced by the other schemes and how it could help in the welfare of the people.
      Work on handwriting, underline keywords.
      Avoid grammatical errors.
      Work hard.
