Under the scheme, Rs 1000 will be transferred to the accounts of registered beneficiaries every month. It is a “periodic and non-discriminatory” scheme, said George Lyngdoh while announcing the scheme.
The party’s state unit will run a door-to-door campaign to register names. All a beneficiary has to do is share her unique identification number and name.
