Hey Guys,
FM Nirmala Sitharaman extends cash benefits to Tea garden workers in Assam through Chah Bagicha Dhan Puraskar Mela Scheme.
The scheme was launched in FY2017-18.
Objective of the scheme was to bring tea labourers closer to the banking sector and thus promote cashless transaction.
Under this scheme, the workers of the tea community were to receive Rs. 2500 in their bank accounts. In addition to this, tea labourers will get another Rs. 2500 in the next phase. A sum of Rs 2,500 was transferred to 6.3 lakh bank accounts in the first phase and an additional Rs 2,500 was deposited in 7.15 lakh accounts in the second tranche in 2018-19.
The scheme has both economic and political benefits.
Economic benefits rest with the tea workers who are its recipients.
Political benefits rest with the ruling BJP as this scheme has helped them to build a considerable voter base for themselves which is expected to help them in upcoming state elections in 2021.
