Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has announced that nobeneficiary will receive Orunodoi scheme benefits for the month of August 2025. The benefits under the upgraded Orunodoi 3.0 scheme will begin only after its official launch on September 17, which also marks Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday.
The announcement made during a press conference held at Lok Sewa Bhawan in Guwahati. CM Sarma stated that the transition from Orunodoi 2.0 to Orunodoi 3.0 has completed, and the state is ready for the rollout. The new phase will cover nearly 40 lakh families across Assam, making it the largest welfare initiative in the state’s history.
Orunodoi Beneficiary Breakdown:
- 6 lakh families from BTAD (Bodoland Territorial Region)
- 36 lakh families from non-BTAD areas
CM Sarma clarified that since the entire beneficiary database has matched with government records, only eligible households will receive the benefits. “We have taken all steps to ensure transparency and prevent ineligible entries,” he said.
He further stated, “As part of the new phase, our newly elected panchayat representatives and members of the district administration will visit every household with a letter from me and with a book, informing them of their selection for the scheme. The rollout of Orunodoi 3.0 will take about a month. No beneficiary will receive scheme benefits in August. On September 17, which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, we will formally inaugurate Orunodoi 3.0. This will mark the first time in Assam’s history that 40 lakh families are being brought under a single welfare scheme.”
