Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur has provided a financial assistance of Rs 50,000 each to Pooja Soni, a resident of Kothi village in Ghumarwin tehsil of Bilaspur district, and Sakshi, a resident of Ramnagar village in Sarkaghat tehsil of Mandi district, in view of the poor economic condition of their families.
Sakshi had informed the Chief Minister about her weak financial condition. She said that her father works as a labourer and her mother was unwell. She and her sister Mehak wanted to continue their studies but due to the lack of funds it was difficult for them to pursue their passion.
Pooja had informed the Chief Minister that she has two daughters, including one specially-abled, and she was facing difficulties in her treatment as she had no permanent means of livelihood.
The Chief Minister sympathetically considered their requests and approved a financial assistance of Rs 50,000 each for both. Meanwhile, Pooja and Sakshi have expressed their gratitude to the Chief Minister for his noble gesture.
