Jharkhand Maiya Samman Yojana: Lakhs of women are eligible for the ‘Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Maiya Samman Yojana’ started by the Hemant Soren government to empower women in Jharkhand. However, now the BJP is claiming that the government is going to cut this scheme. This claim has been made by Koderma MLA Neera Yadav.
MLA Neera Yadav said, “It remains to be seen how much the amount that the sisters were getting before the elections will be cut. Now many new criteria will have to be fulfilled. The green card that was made earlier is still lying aside. Now there is talk of giving rice and pulses. Earlier announcements were put on hold. It is a big deal to implement the announcements you make. Show work on the ground, just making announcements is not a big deal.”
So far in the scheme, 12 thousand rupees in 12 installments
After the swearing-in of the new government in Jharkhand, the government of Chief Minister Hemant Soren had taken some important decisions. Under this, there was also talk of increasing the amount given to women under the state government’s Mainiya Samman Yojana. He had said that women will get Rs 2,500. The Jharkhand government had started the Mainiya Samman Yojana from the month of August. Under this scheme, women of the state between 21 to 50 years of age are to be provided Rs 12,000 in 12 installments annually.
43 lakh applications in 2 weeks
The government had started the process of depositing Rs 1,000 each under the scheme in the bank accounts of women on the 15th of every month from September. The Women and Child Development and Social Security Department had said that tremendous enthusiasm was seen among the women of the state regarding the Mainiya Samman Yojana. Within just two weeks of starting the application for this scheme, the department had received 43 lakh applications.
