In an X post, the Chief Minister said that the tablet will help 'Vikas Mitras' to conveniently maintain data of beneficiaries of various welfare schemes and perform other related tasks.
"Following the principle of development with justice, our government is continuously working for the upliftment of the deprived sections of society. Vikas Mitras play an important role in ensuring that various development and welfare schemes of the government reach the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities. Keeping this in mind, it has been decided to provide a lump sum amount of Rs 25,000 to each Vikas Mitra working under the Bihar Mahadalit Vikas Mission for the purchase of a tablet, so that they may conveniently maintain data of beneficiaries of various welfare schemes and perform other related tasks," said Kumar.
Transport allowance Rs 2,500 per month
Additionally, the transport allowance for Vikas Mitras has been increased from Rs 1,900 per month to Rs 2,500 per month, and the stationery allowance from Rs 900 to Rs 1,500, said the Chief Minister, adding that this will help them during field visits as well as in collecting documents.

Smartphones for 'Shiksha Sevaks'
CM Kumar further said that education workers, who play an important role in ensuring access to education for children from Mahadalit, Dalit, minority, and extremely backward communities, and in promoting women's literacy under the Akshar Aanchal scheme, will each be provided a sum of Rs 10,000 for the purchase of smartphones to facilitate digital activities.
"Along with this, 'Shiksha Sevaks' (education workers) (including Talimi Markaz), who are playing an important role in ensuring access to education for children from Mahadalit, Dalit, minority, and extremely backward communities, and in promoting women's literacy under the Akshar Aanchal scheme, will each be provided a sum of Rs 10,000 for the purchase of smartphones to facilitate digital activities. In addition, the amount allocated under the teaching material head has been increased from Rs 3,405 to Rs 6,000 per centre per year," he said.
The Chief Minister said that this will boost the morale of 'Vikas Mitras' and education workers, enabling them to perform their duties with greater enthusiasm and dedication.
