Chief Minister Mr. Baghel said that we have made continuous achievements in the Godhan Nyaya Yojana, but the rapid increase in the number of self-supporting Gothans is our biggest achievement, because the main objective of this scheme is to make our villages To become financially self-reliant.
Out of the amount being given to cow dung vendors, an amount of Rs 01 crore 67 lakh is being paid by the self-supporting Gothans themselves. While Rs 01 crore 24 lakh is being paid by the department.
In order to encourage Gauthan committees for self-reliance, we have decided to give Rs.750 per month to the presidents of self-supporting Gauthan committees and Rs.500 per month to the members.
The farmer brothers must have already received this good news that from the coming month of November, now paddy will be purchased at the rate of 20 quintals per acre. This was being demanded by the farmer brothers for a very long time. It will definitely benefit the rural economy,
similarly the Rajiv Gandhi Gramin Bhumihin Krishi Mazdoor Nyay Yojana has also been expanded. Now the landless agricultural laborers of Nagar Panchayats and Municipalities of Scheduled Area will also get the benefit of this scheme. To take advantage of this scheme, landless agricultural laborers must apply by April 15.
Socio-economic survey has also been started in the villages from April 01, as the census has not been conducted since 2011. New beneficiaries will also be identified through this survey. They will also be able to get the benefits of schemes like housing, gas cylinders, toilets.
It has also started taking applications for unemployment allowance from the educated unemployed from April 01 itself. For this, they have been given the facility of online application. On the very first day, applications of more than 6000 unemployed were received, which were also approved on the same day.
Many congratulations to all the farmers, cow dung sellers, animal herders, Gauthan committees and self-help groups whose accounts are being transferred through this program today.
