Recently, MLA Pratap Adsad raised an important issue in the Legislative Assembly concerning beneficiaries under Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yojana and Shravan Bal Yojana. This pertained to challenges that beneficiaries are facing. Many beneficiaries of Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yojana and Shravan Bal Yojana have not received their मानधन (honorarium), making it difficult for them to meet their basic needs.
Many older beneficiaries have to visit the bank. However, upon visiting the bank, they are informed that the money has not been deposited. Due to this, they are forced to visit the Tehsil office in their old age to try and resolve this issue and receive their मानधन.
Problems Faced by Beneficiaries of Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yojana
Some of the problems faced by beneficiaries of Sanjay Gandhi Niradhar Yojana are as follows:
Travel Issues: Beneficiaries have to travel to the bank in the tehsil, which is difficult for elderly individuals.
Payment Issues: Often, beneficiaries are told that their मानधन has not been deposited, leading to repeated visits to government offices.
Financial Strain: Since the मानधन is critical for covering expenses such as hospital visits and medicines, delays force beneficiaries to borrow money.
Demand for Resolution
During the Legislative Assembly session, MLA Adsad highlighted that many beneficiaries depend on the मानधन provided by the state government to cover their expenses. Delays in receiving this amount force them to borrow money from others to afford basic necessities such as hospital expenses and medicines.
Taking note of these issues, MLA Pratap Adsad urged the government to address the मानधन problem and ensure that the outstanding amounts are credited to beneficiaries’ accounts to ease their financial burden.
