But the catch? It’s not for those already getting help; it’s for the 90,000+ families slipping through the cracks. No welfare scheme. No subsidies. Just invisible. Starting October 2, women from these families will get ₹1,500/month + 300 free electricity units. Why does this matter? Because in a state known for scenic beauty, poverty often hides behind mountains; unseen, uncounted, forgotten. This is the government finally saying: “We see you.” Plus, there’s a Rs 46-crore ozone-based water project in Dehra; clean, tasty water without chemicals. And 1,012 fisher families just got ₹3,500 each. Not huge sums, but life-changing for those living on the edge. What’s the bigger picture? Himachal isn’t just building roads or schools; it’s building systems that catch people who fall through the gaps. And that? That’s how real development starts.
