It would not have been a better gift for ‘sisters’ than getting lifetime social security cover and that also from the hands of the Chief Minister!
About 8000 women on Saturday on the occasion of Rakha Bandhan received benefits from Chief Minister Raghubar Das. The women after tying rakhi on on CM’s wrist got coverage under Prime Minister Suraksha Bima Yojna that provides insurance cover of Rs 2 lakh. The premium and their renewal of the insurance would be debited directly from the account of the Chief Minister.
Speaking on the occasion the Chief Minister also assured that women commission would be formed at district and block levels as well.
“The wings of the women commission would help the women in dealing with small household issues. Their problems especially relating to superstition which also lead to killings can also be dealt with while generating awareness,” said Das at Bagunhatu on the occasion of Rakha Bandhan. All the women covered were given slips of the scheme.
The CM at the same time also said that Rs 5-10 lakh loan would be provided to employment oriented people through Mudra Bank so that they can generate self-employment. “The Government cannot provide jobs to all but can help in becoming self-dependent. People should take benefit of the schemes available and the Government would help them in the process. Our effort is that poor people should be taken care of in the scheme launched by the Government,” added the Chief Minister.
Raghubar Das also hold a Janta Darbar on the occasion and assured the people that the forthcoming budget of the Government would be for common man and poor. He also visited several areas of his Assembly constituency Jamshedpur East and listened to grievances of the people.
Prior to this interacting with the residents of his Assembly he said: “I am here to take stalk of the development activities being taken. This is also my home Assembly area. We need to ensure that the development work is carried smoothly. However, if they find any irregularities they can raise their voice,” said Das adding that the Government would work efficiently in bringing speedy development, providing basic amenities and improving policing. He also said that ensuring corruption free governance will be his foremost priority.
