”The government has also announced one-time assistance of Rs 2 lakh to ASHA workers and Rs 3 lakh to ASHA supervisors. Additionally, if any ASHA worker plans to retire before the age of 60 years but has provided services for 10 years then the government will provide a one-time financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh,” the minister said while addressing a press conference sharing the details of key decisions taken in a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
