Lucknow, June 6 : In yet another gesture towards children who lost their parents due to the Covid pandemic, UP chief minister Yogi Adityanath has upwardly revised the help being given to children whose guardian s income is below Rs 2 lakh per year. For the legal or natural guardian, the annual income of Rs two lakh limit is very low, hence should be increased, the chief minister has directed officials.
According to the government spokesman, a monthly financial assistance of Rs 4,000 will be given to a child s guardian or caretaker, till he or she attains adulthood, while those who do not have anyone to look after them will be sent to child protection homes.
