Bihar Government Doubles Pension for JP Movement Veterans
In a move to honor the historical contributions of those who participated in the Jayaprakash (JP) Movement, the Bihar government has announced a significant increase in the pension provided to its veterans. Individuals imprisoned during the Emergency period (1975-77) for their support of Jayaprakash Narayan’s movement will now receive double the previous pension amount under the “JP Senani Samman Pension Scheme.” [4, 10]
