Eyeing the Lok Sabha elections, the Assam Budget has proposed some new social security scheme to woo support of senior citizens, widows and specially-abled people of the state.

# A new scheme has been proposed to pay Rs. 25,000 as ‘Immediate Family Assistance’ for widows up to the age 45 years. The assistance will support the family to tide over the financial vacuum created by the loss of the bread earner.
