The Jharkhand government has announced a new program to support the families of government employees. If a government employee in Jharkhand dies in an accident while working, their family will now receive ₹1 crore in financial assistance. This significant support aims to help families cope during a very difficult time.
Before this announcement, only the families of police officers received this benefit. Now, the government is extending this assistance to all government employees. This change shows the government’s commitment to taking care of its workforce and ensuring more families have financial security. This program offers a safety net for those who dedicate their careers to serving the state.
To be eligible for this financial assistance, government employees must have their salary accounts with the State Bank of India (SBI). Therefore, employees who currently use other banks will need to open an account with SBI. This requirement is in place to make sure the money is processed and distributed efficiently to the correct families.
According to a government official, this initiative demonstrates their dedication to the well-being of employees and their families. Furthermore, the program is part of a larger effort to provide comprehensive support and security to those working for the state. As a result, government employees throughout Jharkhand should feel more secure knowing their families will be taken care of if tragedy strikes. This insurance coverage applies throughout India, offering protection wherever duty calls.
