Deputy CM said, there was a demand to increase social security pension for years. We talked to crores of people through the women’s dialogue program and after considering their demand, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar took this decision. The pension amount was being demanded to be made to Rs 1000 while the CM increased it to Rs 1,100. The decision to increase the amount of Social Security Pension Scheme by the Bihar government has been taken at a time when Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has already announced that if his government is formed, Rs 2,500 will be deposited every month in the accounts of poor women and deprived people. Whereas Prashant Kishore has also said that after coming to power, he will give 2000 rupees every month.
