A new service in the basket, Umri Panchyat, Madhya Pradesh
Sixty-five-year-old Johan Minz lives in Girjatoli village of Itki block in Ranchi (Jharkhand) with his wife Sushila. Johan and Sushila have two sons and three daughters, all on whom are married and live in their own homes.
Being a farmer, he always earned a living through his work in the field but age eventually caught up with him and his wife; both of them are now unable to help each other in securing their livelihood. Moreover, Johan had mortgaged most of his farmlands for his daughters’ marriages and financial responsibilities. This left him with practically no money to free his mortgaged lands, and the remaining lands are not good enough for farming. These situations have left the couple in a very difficult situation.
When a local Soochna Seva team happened to come across them recently, they immediately helped him open a bank account and fill an application for old age pension.
Johan also wanted his wife to avail the same benefits under the scheme. She, too, is over 60 years of age, Soochna Seva was immensely happy to oblige.
