Jharkhand chief minister Hemant Soren took to social media to assure women beneficiaries of the state government’s ambitious women financial assistance scheme about the extension of the special enrolment camp dates due to technical glitches in the servers.

“There is tremendous enthusiasm among lakhs of sisters across the state regarding this scheme. Special camps are being organised till August 10, which I have instructed to extend by 5 more days,” the chief minister posted on X.

The chief minister on Monday afternoon posted on X about the initial problems being faced by women beneficiaries of the Jharkhand Mukhyamantri Maiyan Samman Yojana (JMMSY) at the special enrolment camps which began on August 3 and is scheduled to end on August 10.

There were reports that the server of the scheme prepared by the Jharkhand government developed technical snags in a few districts on Saturday preventing beneficiaries from enrolling their names due to inability to complete the online registration process.

It was learnt that the server continued to pose problems in online registration even on Sunday at the common service centres (CSCs) or Pragya Kendras and panchayat offices.
