According to Asomiya Pratidin, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced a comprehensive relief package for families affected by the recent floods in the state. The government plans to provide an interim financial assistance of 15,000 rupees to each affected family to help mitigate the immediate impact of the disaster.
In addition to direct cash transfers, the administration has introduced specific support measures for women and students in the flood-hit districts of Jorhat, Charaideo, Golaghat, and Sivasagar. Women in these regions are set to receive double the amount of the existing Orunodoi scheme, totaling 2,500 rupees. For the student population, the government has committed to the redistribution of free textbooks and has announced one-time financial aid of 1,000 rupees for higher secondary students in Sivasagar and Charaideo, alongside 3,000 rupees for undergraduate and 5,000 rupees for postgraduate students.
The government also stated that it will facilitate the issuance of duplicate marksheets and certificates for students who lost their academic documents during the flooding. Furthermore, a formal survey of damaged property and infrastructure is scheduled to commence on August 3, which will serve as the basis for further government intervention and rehabilitation efforts in the affected regions.
