The distribution ceremony witnessed enthusiastic participation from residents and self-help group (SHG) members as Chief Minister handed out cheques to 14,000 beneficiaries under the scheme.
Extending his gratitude to the people of Tinsukia, the Chief Minister said that the purpose of the MMUA goes "far beyond" financial assistance.
“Everyone knows the government is giving Rs 10,000, but if we fail to understand the purpose of this initiative, we will not realise its benefits. That’s why, along with my ministerial colleagues, I am visiting every constituency in Assam to distribute cheques pers
