With due regards, your kind attention is invited to the prevailed circumstances caused by spreading of COVID-19 pandemic in the country and its disastrous impact on economic activities of the country. The whole country has been put under lock down for more than one month and economic activities has come to a standstill. None can forecast of further extension of this havoc.
Economic activities are backbone of every country and the only measurement which decides the position of a country at development scale. Further, it also plays a crucial role in uplifting the living standard of the citizens. There has always been a great role of the Government in boosting the economic activities.
At present time, when the whole economic activities have been hampered except a few, it requires a huge support from Government especially financial support so as to boost the cycle of demand and supply and provide employment at a large scale and relief to the affected citizens. The Government needs a massive amount of fund/money for above mentioned purpose.
In this regard, a suggestion is submitted to your good self for enhancement in monthly subscription of CGEGIS as per 7th CPC recommendations which may prove a tool for Government in availing fund.
