Chhath Puja Pre-Gift: Bihar ‘Manjhi’ Scheme Pays Two Months’ Dues

In a welcome move just before the revered Chhath Puja, beneficiaries enrolled in Bihar’s ‘Manjhi’ scheme will soon see two months of financial aid deposited directly into their bank accounts. This proactive measure by the state government ensures that families have the necessary funds to manage their expenses during the festive period. The ‘Manjhi’ initiative is a cornerstone of Bihar’s social security framework, designed to empower vulnerable sections of society. The timing of this payment, strategically placed before one of Bihar’s most significant festivals, reflects a sensitive approach to citizen welfare. Many families rely on this scheme for a substantial portion of their income, and receiving double the usual monthly payout offers considerable relief. This financial injection will not only aid in Chhath preparations but also support the general economic stability of recipient households. The anticipation among beneficiaries is high, with the expectation of smoother celebrations and the ability to fully partake in the traditions of Chhath Puja. The scheme continues to play a vital role in the socio-economic fabric of Bihar.
