“Each poor family is saving up to ₹4,000-₹5,000 per month due to the implementation of the Congress government’s five guarantees. The beneficiaries should strive to invest that money in the education of their children and other constructive expenditure,” Public Works Minister Satish Jarkiholi said in Belagavi on Saturday.
He was speaking after launching the Gruha Jyoti scheme at the Pandit Kumar Gandharva Rang Mandir.
He said that the State government has estimated the monthly outgo at ₹43 crore, as the number of registered beneficiaries was around 10.5 lakh houses.
