The Haryana government has introduced a monthly pension scheme of Rs 3,500 for the state's senior citizens. Chief Minister Nayab Singh announced this initiative to ensure a self-reliant and dignified life for the elderly residents of the state.
The program will assist millions of senior citizens, enhancing their quality of life. Previously, the pension amount for the elderly in Haryana was lower, but the government has now raised it to 3500.
This decision will offer financial relief to the state's elderly. This initiative not only offers economic support but also demonstrates the responsibility of society and the government towards them.

Men need to be at least 60 years old, and women must be at least 58 years old. The family's annual income should fall below a specified threshold, which will be announced by the government shortly.
