Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal announced the launch of the 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana' on Monday. Addressing a press conference, he said this scheme aims to provide financial assistance of Rs 18,000 per month to priests of temples and the 'granthis' of the Gurudwara.
The former Delhi Chief Minister further said that the registration of the scheme will begin from Tuesday (December 31). "I will personally visit Hanuman Mandir in Connaught Place tomorrow to initiate the registration process for priests. Pujaris and granthis are an important part of our society, but they are often a neglected section," he added.
