Sources in the Chief Secretariat say that the guidelines for who can join the program as users have been discussed in the consultation meeting and an official announcement will be made by the end of this month.
Information is available from reliable sources that under the name of eligible beneficiaries, the scheme will reach those who are not in government jobs, those with annual income not exceeding 2.5 lakhs, those who own less than 5 acres of land, those who do not receive pension, and those who do not pay income tax. Also, it seems that the Social Welfare Department will implement this scheme under the supervision of the Special Implementation Schemes Department. Moreover, the issue of disbursing this amount to the users through the government cooperative banks was also discussed in this advisory meeting. It is said that the final ‘guideline protocol’ report will be released within the next month.
This plan is important! Why?
During the 2021 assembly elections, Stalin, the leader of the opposition, announced this as a visionary plan at the Trichy conference. As this is considered a dream project of the Chief Minister, the DMK government is trying to implement it even in the face of financial crisis. Additionally, with parliamentary elections coming up next year, they would like to introduce the scheme before then. At the same time, this scheme should be carried out without party discrimination and for all eligible daughters. They say that based on this they have studied and finalized the protocol. As this is announced as a visionary project, it is also said that the number of users is likely to increase in the coming days.
The project will be launched in September. Based on how the DMK is going to implement this plan, will this right amount become a vote bank for the DMK in the elections? Political observers say that they can tell whether it will become a subject of criticism.
