Major Initiative to Strengthen Financial Security and Employee Welfare
CM Sai launched the Short-Term Loan Against Salary Scheme for government employees at Mahanadi Bhawan on July 8. On the occasion, he also unveiled the scheme brochure. Describing it as a significant initiative towards employee welfare, good governance and a sensitive administration, the Chief Minister said the scheme aims to provide government employees with dignified, prompt and hassle-free financial assistance during emergencies.
Chief Minister Shri Sai said that government employees are the backbone of the state’s development. He said that when employees are free from financial worries, government schemes can be implemented effectively to benefit the last person in society. He added that employees will no longer have to depend on private moneylenders or borrow at high interest rates to meet emergency financial needs. Keeping their requirements in mind, the government has developed a system through which eligible employees can avail a short-term loan against salary without unnecessary paperwork.
The Chief Minister said that the Finance Department has integrated the facility with the e-Kosh system through effective use of information technology. He said the system is completely digital, paperless, secure and transparent, and does not impose any additional financial burden on the state government. Congratulating the Finance Department for the initiative, he urged all government employees to actively contribute towards the vision of a developed Chhattisgarh and good governance.
