Chandigarh, May 5
Haryana Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini has the vision of making every poor family socially and economically advanced. For this, the Chief Minister is not only making public welfare schemes but is also completing them at the ground level.
In this connection, the Chief Minister transferred an amount of Rs 86.93 crore to the accounts of 2286 beneficiaries through DBT here today. Notably, the Haryana Government had launched the ‘Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana’ (Dayalu) from April 1, 2023 to provide financial assistance to the family in case of the death of the earning head in any accident in Antyodaya families. Under this scheme, financial assistance of Rs 1076.275 crore has already been sent to 28644 beneficiaries digitally through NPCI through their Aadhaar linked bank accounts.
Under this unique scheme of Haryana, financial assistance is provided in case of accidental or untimely death of a person above 6 years and up to 60 years of age. In this, the family is given financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh on the death of a child between the age of 6 to 12 years, Rs 2 lakh on the death of a teenager between the age of 12 to 18 years, Rs 3 lakh on the death of a youth between the age of 18 to 25 years, Rs 5 lakh on the death of a person between the age of 25 to 50 years (who is usually the head of the family and the breadwinner) and Rs 3 lakh on the death of a person between the age of 45 to 60 years.
In a case where the age of the beneficiary is more than 25 years and up to 45 years and there is a minor girl in the family, then out of the assistance amount of Rs 5 lakh, Rs 2.5 lakh will be sent to the bank account of the minor girl.
Notably, Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini has always been sensitive towards such poor families and is committed to extend help in the time of difficulty.
