The Uttar Pradesh government has taken a significant and compassionate decision regarding the resettlement of Hindu Bengali families displaced from Bangladesh and living in the state. The cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath approved the proposal concerning 99 such families residing in Meerut district.
The issue pertains to the village Nangla Gosai in Mawana tehsil of Meerut, where these families have been living illegally on lake land for a long time. As per the cabinet decision, all 99 families will be permanently relocated to Rasoolabad tehsil in Kanpur Dehat district.
Two plots of land under the Resettlement Department have been allocated for this purpose. In Bhainsaya village, 11.1375 hectares (27.51 acres) will accommodate 50 families, while in Tajpur Tarsoli village, 10.53 hectares (26.01 acres) will be allotted to the remaining 49 families. Each family will receive 0.50 acres on a 30-year lease, renewable twice, making the maximum lease period 90 years. This land will be provided on a premium or lease rent basis.
In another key decision, the government has extended cashless medical treatment facilities to millions of employees linked to the education sector. Teachers, non-teaching staff, and their dependents associated with secondary and basic education departments will now be able to avail cashless treatment at both government and private hospitals. This move was initially announced by CM Yogi on Teacher’s Day last year and has now been formally approved by the cabinet.
Finance and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Suresh Kumar Khanna stated that out of 32 proposals presented, 30 received cabinet approval. The cashless medical facility will cover teachers working in aided schools under the Secondary Education Department, including vocational subject experts and honorarium teachers, as well as those in Sanskrit Education Council-recognised aided schools and self-financed schools.
Secondary Education Minister Gulab Devi mentioned that this benefit will reach over 2.97 lakh individuals with an estimated expenditure of Rs 89.25 crore. Similarly, teachers, Shiksha Mitras, special educators, wardens of Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya, and other staff under the Basic Education Council and its recognised schools, including their dependents, will also be covered. Basic Education Minister Sandeep Singh said this scheme will benefit over 11.95 lakh people, with an annual estimated cost of Rs 358.61 crore based on a premium of approximately Rs 3,000 per employee.
These decisions mark a major step towards providing permanent housing for displaced families and improving healthcare benefits for education sector workers across Uttar Pradesh.
