Sikkim Krantikari Morcha Aama Yojna Scheme
Aama Yojna Scheme aims to inculcate the habit of saving among non-working mothers in the state and hence the Government will provide them Rs. 20,000 each in their bank accounts annually. The scheme covers only those whose names are enrolled in the electoral roll of the state and a sum of Rs. 100 crores have been allocated for it in the budget.
With an aim to equip unemployed Mother’s (Aama) of Sikkim belonging to economically weaker sections of Society with financial assistance, the State Government under the pragmatic leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri PS Golay has announced PROJECT AAMA Scheme from April 2022.
After approval from State Legislative Assembly PROJECT AAMA will provide financial assistance of ₹ 20,000 to 500 unemployed Mothers from every Constituency. The State Government will open bank accounts for non working mothers and deposit a yearly grant of ₹ 20,000 per annum.
The PROJECT AAMA Scheme was highlighted in the SKM Party’s manifesto and originally it strived to provide ₹ 50,000 but due to several financial liabilities caused by pandemic Covid 19 it has decided to deposit ₹ 20,000 which shall be upgraded in due course of time.
Why Sikkim Krantikari Morcha Party?
Citizens of Sikkim have many aspirations for their state. For the last 25 years, Pawan Kumar Chamling has taken absolute control of power, undermining the core values of democracy. Threats against democratic Sikkim have increased many folds under the present dictatorial regime.
Unification of the divided Sikkimese society on communal and religious lines is the need of the hour to secure and protect Sikkim. The security armor of Sikkim-Article 371F of the Constitution of India, which has persistently been diluted and weakened by Chamling, needs to be protected from future dilution.
Issues like restoration of the lost reserved seats of Sikkimese of Nepali and Tsong origins, reservation of the scheduled tribe’s seats for Limboo and Tamang in the Sikkim legislative assembly, and bringing the 17th Karmapa to Sikkim have failed to be resolved.
