In an effort to accord formal honourarium to community leaders of various tribes of Tripura, the BJP-IPFT authorities has rolled out a brand new scheme of Rs 2,000 honourariums for community leaders of 19 indigenous clans of the state.
A notification issued by Tribal Welfare Director LT Darling states that the scheme would accord honourarium allowances to chief socialists of the communities. “In recognition of the contribution of the ‘Samajpatis’ of the various tribal communities in the development of the tribal community and the overall development of the state, the government of Tripura has decided to provide honorarium allowances to the chief socialists of the tribal communities,” the notification stated.
However, the tribal chiefs or ‘samajpati’ must apply for their recognition and honourarium in a prescribed type launched by the federal government.
The purposes could be accepted until November 23 within the workplace of Tribal Welfare Director.
Reacting to the problem, former Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) Radhacharan Debbarma stated the scheme ought to embody community leaders in any respect ranges and never simply senior ones, if it has to do justice to indigenous communities.
“In our tribal communities, there are Samajpatis like Para Phang or Choudhury in local levels and Hangkors, Mayals and Hoda in higher levels. In case of Christians, community leaders are different; for Vaishnavites, there are Mahantas and Baantes for Buddhists. The government should clarify this thing and include all indigenous community leaders in the ambit of this scheme,” he instructed indianexpress.com.
Debbarma added that the scheme shouldn’t be used for assembly any political ends, with an indirect reference to the forthcoming ADC elections.
Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb earlier introduced on June 20 this 12 months about his authorities’s choice to pay honourariums to tribal community ‘samajpatis’.
As a part of its pre-poll guarantees, the state authorities earlier hiked social safety pensions from Rs 700 to Rs 1,000 per 30 days and few others to Rs 2,000.
