Chief Minister Hemant Soren today said that his government has come up with the "Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Mainiya Samman Yojana" to give 12 thousand rupees in a year, but in the coming 5 years we will deliver assistance of 1 lakh rupees to every household. How this assistance amount will reach your homes is my responsibility. I know that there are lakhs of families in our villages who take loans from moneylenders to run their household and fulfill their needs. But in the coming 5 years we will strengthen the system in such a way that you will not need to beg in front of anyone.
