all of us know well that how much our govt. is spending on education, defence and MNREGA like projects. But did you imagine that how much our govt. has fixed to provide the disability pension?
the answer is very shocking- only 200 Rs./month. And that too because of the great efforts!!!
plz. read this article, taken from the famous newspaper HINDU---PUBLISHED 2 YEARS AGO
Bihar eases disability pension norm
Patna, March 24: The Bihar Government today said it had relaxed the parameters set by the Centre and decided to make available Rs 200 a month as pension to those even with 40 per cent disabilities.
Replying to a question in the State Legislative Council, the Deputy Chief Minister, Mr S. K. Modi, said the Centre was providing pension to people with 60 per cent or more disabilities within a stipulated life period.
“We have relaxed the parameters in Bihar where people with 40 per cent or more disabilities are being granted a monthly pension of Rs 200,” Mr Modi said.
To a supplementary, Mr Modi said no proposal was being considered by the State government at the stage to hike the pension amount
have you read? our govt. is not ready to incease the disability pension because they consider it sufficient.. Now it is an interesting but ironical question that a disabled person, who is unable to earn money due to his handicap, how will he survive in Rs. 200/ month i.e. 06 rupees/ day?
