In a significant move ahead of the upcoming elections, the Bihar government will transfer Rs. 1,227 crore to the bank accounts of 1.11 crore beneficiaries under the Social Security Pension Scheme on Friday, July 11. The amount will be directly credited via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), with Rs. 1,100 reaching each beneficiary for the first time at the increased monthly pension rate.

First Disbursal After Pension Hike

Last month, the Nitish Kumar-led government raised the pension amount for elderly, widows, and disabled beneficiaries from Rs. 400 to Rs. 1,100 per month. The upcoming transfer marks the first disbursal at this revised rate, and anticipation among beneficiaries is high.

Grand Statewide Programme Planned

To mark the occasion, the state government has planned a massive outreach programme. Chief Minister Mr. Nitish Kumar will formally release the funds at a state-level function in Patna, which will be simultaneously broadcast across:

  • 38 district headquarters
  • 534 block headquarters
  • 8053 panchayats
  • Over 43,000 revenue villages

The government expects over 60 lakh beneficiaries to participate in these district- and village-level events.

Preparations in Full Swing

Administrative preparations for the event have been completed. A high-level meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Mr. Amritlal Meena was held earlier this week to instruct District Magistrates (DMs) to ensure smooth execution and proper broadcasting facilities at all venues.

The programme will include:

  • Live telecast of CM Nitish Kumar’s address
  • Screening of a short film
  • TV advertisements highlighting the government’s social welfare initiatives

This large-scale event is being seen as a major welfare push by the Bihar government and a demonstration of its commitment to inclusive governance through direct financial support.
