He made another big announcement on the occasion of Birsa Munda’s 150th birth anniversary on Friday. The government increased the allowance for the Jai Johar Scheme.
New Initiatives for Indigenous Development
Mamata Banerjee was inaugurating a week-long program to mark the 150th birth anniversary of Birsa Munda at the Adivasi Bhawan premises in New Town. Speaking on the occasion, CM said, “The budget allocation for tribal development will also increase a lot.”
Jai Johar Scheme in West Bengal Amount Increse
The Chief Minister said that the allocation of pension subscribers under the ‘Jai Johar scheme’ will be increased from Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,800. The move is expected to increase financial assistance to pension-receiving tribal members.
