Mizoram Deputy Chief Minister Tawnluia on October 12 said the State government's Socio-Economic Development Policy (SEDP) scheme will continue if the Mizo National Front (MNF) returns to power in the November 7 Assembly polls.
Under the SEDP, the MNF government provides financial assistance of up to ₹3 lakh to beneficiaries to start projects (trades) of their choice for sustainable development, he said.
Speaking to reporters at the party office in Aizawl, Mr. Tawnluia, who is also senior MNF vice-president, said SEDP assistance is not vote-bank politics but primarily a development-oriented programme.
