JoharTapshili Bandhu scheme: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has launched several social and philanthropic schemes for the state’s people. One of them is Joy Johar and Tapashili Bandhu project. Today I will discuss who can apply for this project, how to apply, and what documents are required.
What is the Joy Johar/Tapshili Bandhu project?
The central and state governments provide various allowances in the social security sector to all eligible persons who are able to work due to old age. Then, the Jai Johar/Tapashili Bandhu scheme offered by the state government is one such scheme. Although it sounds different, it is actually the same project. Scheduled Caste people get the benefit of the Tapashili Bandhu scheme and Scheduled Tribe people get used of the Jai Johar scheme.
