Raipur, Chhattisgarh: In a significant move, the BJP-led government in Chhattisgarh has stamped its approval on two of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guarantees, promising a brighter future for the state’s women and forest workers. The Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai cabinet has made a landmark decision to increase the collection remuneration for Tendu leaves from ₹4,000 to ₹5,500 per standard bag, a move that directly benefits the Tendu leaf collectors’ families. This decision not only acknowledges their hard work but also aims to improve their economic status.
Empowering Women through Mahtari Vandan Yojana: In another major step, the cabinet has approved the Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Under this scheme, married women in the state, including widows, divorcees, and abandoned women, will receive ₹1,000 monthly, amounting to ₹12,000 annually. This direct benefit transfer (DBT) aims to eradicate gender discrimination and inequality, enhance women’s health and nutrition, and promote female empowerment and financial independence. The scheme is a testament to the government’s commitment to women’s welfare and is expected to have a far-reaching impact on society.
Why This Matters: These initiatives are not just about financial assistance; they represent a significant shift towards recognizing and valuing the contributions of women and forest workers in Chhattisgarh. By increasing the remuneration for Tendu leaf collection, the government acknowledges the importance of forest workers in the state’s economy. Similarly, the Mahtari Vandan Yojana is a step towards gender equality, offering financial independence and recognition to the women of Chhattisgarh.
Who Benefits?: The Tendu leaf price hike directly benefits the collectors, mostly tribal and rural communities dependent on forest produce for their livelihood. The Mahtari Vandan Yojana targets married women over 21 years of age residing in Chhattisgarh, including widows, divorcees, and abandoned women, thereby covering a broad spectrum of the female population.
The Road Ahead: These schemes are expected to bring about significant changes in the socio-economic fabric of Chhattisgarh. While the immediate impact will be financial relief and empowerment, the long-term benefits could include improved health and nutrition standards, reduced gender inequality, and a more inclusive society.
In Conclusion: The Chhattisgarh government’s decision to implement these schemes underlines its commitment to fulfilling PM Modi’s guarantees. It’s a step forward in empowering the marginalized and creating a more equitable society.
