The Jharkhand government has made Aadhaar mandatory to avail the benefits of the Chief Minister Maiya Samman Yojana. The state government has issued a notification through the Women and Child Development Department. It states that every woman availing the scheme will not only have to provide her Aadhaar. But will also have to go through the Aadhaar authentication process. Women who do not have Aadhaar will have to first apply for Aadhaar registration.
Along with this, the government has made another important arrangement. If a woman has not got Aadhaar, she will have to present any one of the 10 prescribed identity cards. Apart from this, if biometric authentication fails, alternative facilities like iris scan or facial recognition will also be made available. So that the woman does not have to face any kind of problem.
Under the Maiya Samman Yojana, the instalment for the month of January can be transferred to the accounts of women beneficiaries on 28 or 29 January. During this time, the work of verification of beneficiaries and data update in the districts has also been almost completed.
However, there are problems in the scheme at some places. In this regard, a demonstration was held under the banner of Nirman Kamgar Union (CITU) to correct the errors in the scheme in Koderma district. In this demonstration, women demanded to correct the errors in the application of Maiya scheme. They also wanted that the portal be opened again. Also new applications should be accepted. Apart from this, approval of pending Sarvajan Pension was also demanded.
At the same time, during the demonstration, it was also complained that due to errors in bank account and IFSC code in the online application, many women are not able to get payment. In such a situation, these women say that they go to the zonal office every day. But no solution is found. If these errors are not corrected and payment is not made within 15 days. So the women are warning to go on indefinite strike. It is known that after this demonstration, a 10-member delegation submitted a memorandum to the BDO, in which their demands were placed.
