The State Of Haryana Introduces The Nation's First 'Bachelor's Pension'
Manohar Lal Khattar, the chief minister of Haryana, has promised pension benefits for the state’s single residents between the ages of 45 and 60. Within a month, the plan will most likely be put into action. The country’s first state to put such a plan into effect would be Haryana.
The state of Haryana’s government, which is headed by Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, has decided to begin paying pensions to single adults between the ages of 45 and 60. In response to a request from an unmarried guy, the CM made the statement during a public outreach event.
The program is open to those with annual earnings under Rs. 1.8 lakh. Over 1.25 lakh unmarried residents of the state are anticipated to benefit from the program, according to a report prepared by the CM’s office.
According to sources, the CM has already met with the relevant officials and ministries and will implement the plan within a month.
According to estimates, the state’s unmarried population may receive a monthly pension of Rs 2,750. The state government already provides pensions to elderly people, widows, physically disabled people, and transgender people through its various programs. If a couple solely has a girl child, the government will offer a pension in the case of the parent’s death.
The government’s recent announcement to grant pensions to single persons is also viewed as an effort to boost the state’s sex ratio. According to the reports, the state’s sex ratio has improved by 38 points. The sex ratio was 879 in 2011, but it will be 917 in 2023.
According to statistics from 2020, West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttarakhand were among the states from which over 35,000 brides came to Haryana. Most of them were “bought” directly, while others traveled through Delhi to reach Haryana.
