Jharkhand Extends Maiyan Samman Yojana for Non-Aadhaar Beneficiaries

The Jharkhand government has extended the deadline for Mukhyamantri Maiyan Samman Yojana (JMMSY) beneficiaries without Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. They will now receive financial aid until March 31, 2025, instead of the earlier deadline of December 31, 2024.

Financial Assistance for Women

Under the JMMSY, women aged 18 to 50 years receive a monthly financial assistance of ₹2,500. However, those who have not linked their bank accounts to Aadhaar had stopped receiving funds from January 2025. With this extension, such beneficiaries will get aid till March. From April 2025 onwards, only Aadhaar-linked bank accounts will be eligible for payments.

Cabinet Approvals

In a state cabinet meeting chaired by CM Hemant Soren, a total of 16 proposals were approved. Among them was the Jharkhand Micro, Small, and Medium Units (MSME) Special Exemption Bill, 2025, which aims to support small businesses in the state.

More Teachers for Special Education

To improve education for children with disabilities, the cabinet approved the creation of 3,451 new teaching posts in primary schools. These include intermediate-trained and graduate-trained assistant teachers as part of the 50,000 approved teaching positions in the state.

With these decisions, the Jharkhand government aims to ensure continued support for women and improve education facilities across the state.

Conclusion

By extending financial aid and boosting education initiatives, the Jharkhand government ensures continued support for women and children, fostering economic and social development in the state.
