People from across the state were demanding such pension scheme for a long time, but, due to various reasons, previous governments were not able to launch any pension scheme for freedom fighter families or the earlier schemes were not proving to be of any great benefit to such families. Government of Mohan Charan Majhi has decided to launch this new scheme to provide more benefits.

Chief Minister Said in a Tweet (Translated from Odia)

मैंने क्रांति दिवस के अवसर पर भुवनेश्वर में राज्य स्वतंत्रता सेनानी संघ द्वारा आयोजित एक कार्यक्रम में भाग लिया। मैं स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों के बलिदान को कभी नहीं भूलूंगा।

हमारी सरकार कुटुंब योजना के तहत स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों के परिवारों को भत्ता प्रदान करेगी। जल्द ही स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों के परिवारों की पहचान कर उन्हें उचित सम्मान दिया जाएगा।

पहले स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों को भत्ता दिया जाता था। लेकिन ये उसके लिए काफी नहीं था. लेकिन अब कुटुंब योजना के तहत उनके आश्रितों को भत्ता दिया जाएगा. फलस्वरूप वे अपने पूर्वजों के बलिदान को गहराई से महसूस करेंगे और स्वयं को गौरवान्वित मानेंगे।
