Maharashtra State Government has disbursed ₹15.30 crore so far to the accounts of over 306 children, who had lost their parents to coronavirus.
The government had announced last month that monetary aid will be extended in a bid to help secure their future by providing an assistance of ₹5 lakh each.
“Hundreds of children from different districts of the State have been orphaned in the last two years due to the COVID pandemic. Some financial provision was needed for the future of such children, for their education and overall protection,” the State’s Women and Child Welfare minister Yashomati Thakur said.
