Assam to revise list of Orunodoi cash beneficiaries

Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has sought a revision of the list of Orunodoi beneficiaries by excluding those who no longer need the financial grant and including others irrespective of political ideologies.

Orunodoi, launched in October 2020, entails a monthly grant of ₹1,250 to each of some 20 lakh beneficiaries. It is one of 18 flagship schemes of the Assam government currently in operation.
