Nobody likes to live in these remote places. They don't have any other options. They can't all go to cities where there are no jobs, and no basic amenities for poor. Visit any major city in India and you'll see poor kids and women under the numerous flyovers.
And cash transfers being ineffective for remote places seems to be a bad argument. How difficult would it be for the government itself to provide supplies to these areas when it is freed up of this responsibility for most of the country?
