On Wednesday the chief minister of Chhattisgarh launched a financial assistance plan for landless agricultural labourers under which each family will get Rs 6,000 a year.

Ten lakh beneficiaries are expected to benefit from the scheme. Chhattisgarh is the first state to take such an initiative, the CM said, adding: “This new episode of Nyay Yojana will help us achieve our goal of ‘Gadhbo Nava Chhattisgarh’ (build a new Chhattisgarh).”

Registrations began on September 1 and will continue till November 30, 2021. Beneficiaries will start getting the money in their accounts this year, the CM promised.

In a video message, Baghel urged agri-labourers to get themselves registered and said, “As part of Chhattisgarh government’s initiative to ensure justice to the needy people of the state, a new chapter has been added under ‘Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Bhumiheen Krishi Mazdoor Nyay Yojana’.”

“Our senior party leaders Sonia Gandhi ji and Rahul ji and MPs have given us the mantra that poor people and their families should be provided financial assistance by all means. They should not get stuck in the vicious cycle of debt nor should they suffer in times of economic crisis,” the CM added.

‘Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Bhumiheen Krishi Mazdoor Nyay Yojana’ will help the most needy families of the state, Baghel said. “The way the Chhattisgarh government had earlier provided financial aid to farmers, which eventually strengthened the market, this grant to landless agricultural labourers will also give a boost to the rural economy,” the CM said.

To avail of the benefits, the head of the family needs to register on the portal rggbkmny.cg.nic.in by November 30. Prior to registration, they have to submit their application to the gram panchayat secretary with Aadhaar number, bank passbook details and an active mobile number.

The gram panchayat secretary will forward it to the Janpad panchayat CEO after which the application will be updated on the portal. The beneficiary family will get the receipt of the application from the gram panchayat secretary.
