The Chief Minister of Assam, Himanta Biswa Sarma, assured on Thursday that the state’s BJP government will take on the task of providing education to female students up to the postgraduate level, while families holding a ration card will be granted government-funded life insurance.
At present, every girl who successfully completes the class 10 exams receives a bicycle or a scooter. However, starting this year, a sum of ₹10,000 will be credited to their bank accounts for a duration of two years while they prepare for the class 12 board exams, as stated by the Chief Minister.
CM Himata Biswa Sarma stated that female students who finish class 12 will be granted ₹12,500 for college enrollment, whereas those who opt for postgraduate studies will be awarded ₹25,000. He mentioned that after the elections, the head of the household will be entitled to life insurance, with the premiums being covered by the state government. Additionally, a female member will be eligible for benefits under the state government’s “Orunodoi” scheme.

He emphasized the BJP government’s success in generating employment opportunities and promised to unveil an additional 50,000 jobs after the election.
