In a series of significant decisions, the Jharkhand cabinet has approved several proposals that are set to benefit various segments of the population. One of the key announcements includes a hike in the salaries of Anganwadi workers and their assistants, a move that is expected to bring relief and motivation to these essential frontline workers.
The cabinet meeting, held recently, decided to increase the remuneration for Anganwadi workers and their helpers. This decision aligns with similar moves by other states, such as Odisha and West Bengal, where Anganwadi workers have also seen significant salary hikes. In Jharkhand, the government is considering raising the monthly compensation for Anganwadi workers and their assistants, although the exact figures are yet to be finalized.
Ration Card Initiatives
Another major announcement involves the issuance of new ration cards. The Jharkhand government has approved a proposal to create 5 lakh new ration cards, aimed at expanding the coverage of the public distribution system and ensuring that more families have access to subsidized food and other essential commodities. This move is part of the government's efforts to enhance food security and support the economically vulnerable sections of the society.
Additionally, the cabinet has also decided to increase the commission for ration dealers, a decision that has been welcomed by the Dealer Association. This increase in commission is expected to motivate dealers to provide better services and ensure the smooth distribution of ration to the beneficiaries.
New Medical College in Ranchi
In a significant development for the healthcare sector, the Jharkhand cabinet has approved the establishment of a new medical college in Ranchi. This initiative is part of the state's efforts to enhance medical education and healthcare facilities, providing better opportunities for medical students and improving the overall healthcare infrastructure in the region.
These decisions reflect the state government's commitment to the welfare of its citizens, particularly in areas such as education, healthcare, and social welfare. The announcements are expected to have a positive impact on the lives of many, from Anganwadi workers to families in need of ration and quality healthcare.
