Atmanirbhar

I ​was ​recently ​speaking to a friend in ​London​ and he told me that​ the​ UK government is paying a​ good​ amount to all citizens during LockDown. Wondering how it will motivate people ​in the long run doing no work​ and still getting paid?
For business​es asking their employees to work ​is backfir​ing​ because many employees are not giving so much importance​ to assigned work​ since the Government was already paying for doing no work.
The money doled out is huge. ​Just imagine, ​all employees of airline companies are being paid GBP 2500 per month till September. India is truly a po​or​ country! We are unable to even take care of the lower strata​ of the society​, forget the middle class.
Loans to ​Small Businesses in the UK are almost like grants with an interest rate about 1% ​& a moratorium of 12 months. No wonder all Small Businesses are opting for it. In India it’s so different! ​Here the banks say, “Pay up your EMIs as per schedule otherwise we won’t give you loans in the future.”
Is the UK model of paying and keeping everyone ​locked in, ​a better option or India is doing ​this ​better by telling her citizens that be “Atmanirbhar” (self sufficient) and adjust the lifestyle to “​L​ive with Corona”?
What do you think?
