Bihar: Jeevika Didis will be given the status of government employees, loan interest will be waived; RJD announced

Political activity has intensified regarding the Bihar elections. All parties are busy wooing voters. Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has made a major election promise regarding the Jeevika Didis.

He stated that if the Grand Alliance forms the government, Jeevika Didis will be granted government employee status. Furthermore, their loan interest will be waived and they will be granted interest-free loans. He also made several other promises.

Tejashwi Yadav stated that previously, we made a historic announcement that one person in families without government jobs will be given a government job. Today, we are making another historic announcement. The extent of exploitation of Jeevika Didis under this government is unprecedented.

He stated that during our travels, we visited several districts and everywhere we encountered groups of Jeevika Didis. We respect all Jeevika Didis, and it is our responsibility to ensure they receive their rights and dignity.

Government Employee Status
Yadav said, “After a scientific study, we have decided to grant permanent government employee status to all CM Jeevika Didis, increasing their salary to ₹30,000 per month. This is not a trivial announcement; rather, our Jeevika Didis have been demanding permanent status for many years.”

Promise of a ₹2,000 monthly allowance
The RJD leader said that no work can be accomplished without Jeevika Didis, but what do they receive? The interest on loans taken by Jeevika Didis will also be waived. Jeevika Didis will be given interest-free loans for two years. Jeevika group Didis will also receive a ₹2,000 monthly allowance for performing other government tasks.

In addition, insurance of ₹5 lakh each has been announced for all women included in the Jeevika cadre, and honorarium has also been announced for the group president and treasurer. Not only this, the benefits available under the Mai-Sister Scheme have been promised to be given separately.
