In a pre-Diwali gesture, the Hemant Soren-led government in Jharkhand has bestowed a substantial gift upon its employees and pensioners. The government has increased the dearness allowance (DA) by 4 percent for state employees, effectively bringing it in line with the DA received by central government employees. This decision was made during a recent Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, and the increased DA will be retroactive to July 1, 2023. State government employees will now enjoy a 46 percent dearness allowance, ensuring their compensation aligns with that of their central government counterparts.
The Cabinet meeting also approved 23 other proposals, including the ‘Mukhyamantri Ujjwal Jharkhand Yojana,’ a new scheme aimed at providing electricity to homes in rural and urban areas where it is not currently available. An allocation of Rs 1,485 crore has been earmarked for this initiative.
