A guaranteed income support to counter inflation: Mahua
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Saturday promised to roll out a direct cash transfer scheme for women in Goa if voted to power in the State after the Assembly polls due in February next year.
Under the scheme titled Griha Laxmi, ₹5,000 would be transferred to a woman of every household per month as guaranteed income support to counter inflation once the party comes to power, TMC leader Mahua Moitra said.
The party would soon start distributing cards for the scheme, she said, adding that these cards carrying unique identification numbers would become operational once the TMC forms a government in Goa.
