President Ram Nath Kovind has decided to take 30 per cent salary cut for himself for year besides announcing a slew of other austerity measures to aid the government’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Apart from that, the president will also contribute one month’s salary to the PM-CARES Fund in March.
The domestic tours and programmes of the President will be substantially reduced in order to follow social distancing restrictions and minimise expenditure, according to a Rashtrapati Bhavan communique issued on Thursday.
The consumption during ceremonial occasions such as At-Home ceremonies and state banquets will also be minimised by keeping smaller guest lists, reducing the food menu and lesser usage of flowers and other decorative items, it said.
