Odisha Mukhyamantri Sahayata Yojana

Introduction

• The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced several schemes for the welfare of the people in its Odisha Assembly Election manifesto.
• Such schemes may influence people and might play an important role for BJP in the assembly election result.
• Among them one notable scheme is the 'Odisha Mukhyamantri Sahayata Jojana or Yojana.'
• Under this scheme, the BJP tries to allure elderly, destitute, widows, and disabled citizens.
• While announcing the scheme, they said that each beneficiary in the above mentioned categories would receive a pension of Rs 3,000/- per month.
• This amount is six times higher than the current government's Madhu Babu Pension Yojana, in which the beneficiary receives only Rs 500/- per month.
• Not only this, elderly above 80 years old and divyangs with more than 80% disability will receive a monthly pension of Rs 3,500/-, which is five times higher than the current government provision of Rs. 700/- monthly.
• However, this scheme is a pre pre-poll promise by the BJP and will only be implemented if they form the state government.
• Therefore, the beneficiaries eager about the Mukhyamantri Sahayata Yojana will need to wait until the assembly elections results are announced.
• Further details about the Mukhyamantri Sahayata Yojana, including its application process, eligibility criteria and other key highlights, will be outlined once it is implemented.
