Jharkhand Cabinet Boosts Women’s Honorarium and Key Initiatives

In a significant move, the Hemant Soren cabinet in Jharkhand has increased the monthly honorarium for women under the Maiyaan Samman Yojana from ₹1,000 to ₹2,500. This decision is seen as a response to the BJP’s Gogo Didi Yojana, which promises ₹2,100 per month to women as outlined in their election manifesto. Alongside this, the cabinet approved 28 proposals aimed at improving infrastructure, education, and social welfare in the state.

Key Proposals Approved

Netarhat Tourism Development: Administrative approval for the development of the Netarhat tourism area, with a total budget of ₹43.08 crore.
