Safety net and social protection is being seen as a mainstream development concern (not just as poverty and risk mitigation strategy) by the current government. Current safety net system gives special consideration for the vulnerable groups within the poor. These groups include aged poor people, widowed or deserted women, disabled persons and others (tea-garden labourers, harijan, dalit, bade, small ethnic groups,  sherman community etc.). Support comes in the form of cash, food, asset, wage-employment, training, savings and community support. More than 6.7 million people are receiving different kinds of allowance from safety net schemes in the  scal year 2017-18. Government has a plan to extend the coverage up to 10 million in the budget of 2018-19.
