Details of Orunodoi 3.0 Scheme Launch on 17th September
The Assam government, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has officially announced the start of Orunodoi 3.0 on 17th September. This plan targets nearly 4 million poor families. A monthly financial aid of ₹1,250 will be given to these families to help with nutrition and healthcare, making this the biggest welfare scheme in Assam’s history.
This launch is especially notable as it falls on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, adding a festive mood to this new phase of social support in the state.
Financial Benefits and Eligibility under Orunodoi 3.0
Families classified as low-income or belonging to poorer sections across Assam are eligible to get the monthly assistance under this scheme. The ₹1,250 help aims to directly raise the living standards of beneficiaries by improving access to food, healthcare, and essential household needs.
The authorities have made plans to reach out to ensure eligible families receive clear information and can get their benefits easily from the scheme’s start date.
Distribution and Outreach Plans for Beneficiaries
In August, the Assam government will send official letters to all eligible beneficiaries, containing detailed information about Orunodoi 3.0. This personal communication shows the government’s focus on clarity and easy access.
Beneficiaries will also receive a special book on important historical figures of India, celebrating 2025 as the ‘Year of Books’ in Assam, promoting education alongside welfare.
Nijut Moina Scheme Support for Girl Students
Alongside Orunodoi 3.0, the Nijut Moina scheme continues to help girl students by providing financial support to keep them in school and stop early child marriage. Started in August last year, this scheme has already helped around 1 million girls pursue higher education with government support.
Stipend Structure and Educational Impact of Nijut Moina
| Education Level | Monthly Stipend | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Class 11 (after passing Class 10) | ₹1,000 | 2 years (excluding 2 months summer vacation) |
| Degree Courses (after Class 12) | ₹1,250 | 3 to 4 years |
| Postgraduate/BEd Courses | ₹2,500 | Until course completion |
This financial support has made a clear difference, encouraging parents to support their daughters’ education instead of early marriage. The scheme promotes social and economic progress and helps girls through education.
