To adopt income generating scheme, every individual beneficiary will receive Rs 50,000 each under this mega project launched in the State recently. Rihon Daimary, Assam Public Health Engineering (PHE) minister, attended the ceremonial distribution as the chief guest. In his address, Daimary lauded the initiative taken by Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal and State Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma to solve the unemployment problem through this scheme. He also encouraged the beneficiaries to become self-reliant through this government aid.

Meanwhile, Varnali Deka, Deputy Commissioner of Goalpara, also attended the programme and urged the beneficiaries to have a professional approach while initiating a business. "During my visit to the different States like Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh, I have noticed that in comparison to them, the Assamese people still lack the true business sense. So, the Re-SVAYEM beneficiaries will be given proper training to cope up with the issue," said Varnali Deka to the beneficiaries.
