What Is The Shraddhanjali Scheme 2025 Launched By The Assam Government And What Are Its Benefits?
The Shraddhanjali Scheme 2025 is a compassionate initiative by the Government of Assam to provide financial and logistical assistance for bringing back the bodies of Assamese residents who die outside the state.
Launched under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma, the scheme aims to ensure that every Assamese person receives a dignified final journey home, irrespective of where they pass away. It covers the transportation cost and related funeral expenses, offering much-needed relief to grieving families. This welfare measure reflects Assam’s commitment to social responsibility and emotional solidarity with its diaspora. By prioritizing dignity, compassion, and cultural values, the Shraddhanjali Scheme stands as one of the most humane government programs introduced in recent years.
