Bihar’s ‘Manjhi’ scheme beneficiaries are anticipating a significant financial update as the government plans to credit two months’ worth of aid into their accounts before the commencement of Chhath Puja. This strategic financial disbursement is designed to enhance the preparedness of families for the upcoming festive season. The ‘Manjhi’ scheme serves as a critical lifeline for many families in Bihar, offering essential financial support to improve their economic well-being. The decision to advance payments for two consecutive months ahead of Chhath underscores the government’s dedication to supporting its citizens during periods of heightened expenditure and cultural significance. This dual payment will empower beneficiaries to procure necessary items for the festival and meet their daily needs more comfortably. The move is seen as a proactive step towards ensuring that the joy of Chhath Puja is accessible to all, irrespective of their economic background. The timely arrival of these funds is crucial for many households, reinforcing the positive impact of the ‘Manjhi’ welfare program on the lives of ordinary Biharis.
