The PM Cares scheme in India has a role in supporting orphans in the following ways:
  • The scheme provides financial assistance to orphans by setting up the PM Cares Fund specifically for COVID-19 relief efforts.
  • Funds from the scheme are used to establish healthcare facilities, including pediatric care, that benefit orphans and other vulnerable groups.
  • Financial support provided by the scheme could be utilized for education and skill development programs, benefiting orphans in their pursuit of a better future.
  • Through the PM Cares scheme, orphans may also receive support for basic needs such as nutrition, shelter, and healthcare.
The Supreme Court's query regarding inclusivity raises the possibility of expanding the benefits of the PM Cares scheme to all orphans. This reflects a desire to ensure that support reaches every orphan, regardless of their specific circumstances or the cause of their orphanhood. The court's intervention highlights the importance of inclusivity and equal access to assistance in such schemes.
