Rs 1000 for women in the TN budget..!?
The tamil Nadu government has not yet made any announcement on the DMK's election manifesto stating that a Rs 1,000 monthly allowance scheme for women will be launched if the DMK comes to power. Expectations are rising as to whether it will be implemented on chief minister Karunanidhi's birthday. Since the inception of the Dravidian movement, various new schemes have been introduced for the benefit of women, the struggle for women's rights has spawned various revolutions including equal rights for women in the property. With the implementation of free bus travel for women, there is an expectation among housewives that the announcement of a monthly allowance of ₹ 1,000 for housewives will be made in the budget.
After the DMK government took over, the plan to provide Rs 1,000 a month to family heads has not yet been implemented. Speaking on the occasion, Finance minister PTR Palanivel Rajan said that the scheme of providing ₹ 1,000 per month to eligible family cardholders would be implemented soon and that work was underway for this, which was strongly condemned by the leader of the Opposition Edappadi Palanichamy, who said that steps should be taken to provide it without discrimination to all parties.
Many of the women who had the card in the joint family are applying for the personal smart ration card with the intention of benefiting from the scheme so that the authorities are on the lookout for orders from top officials. In this case, the cards that have not been purchased for several days, the cardholders by two addresses are being traced and removed.The first full budget of the DMK government is due to be tabled next Friday, which is expected to explain in the debate on the state budget whether the financial situation in tamil Nadu will co-operate as women expect the women's rights declaration to be released.
The expectation of housewives is that women who have lost a son or a husband should be declared free of charge to sustain their livelihood on their own without any delay.
