Goa: New pension scheme for retired seamen

PANAJI: Chief minister Pramod Sawant on Friday announced a ‘new pension scheme’ for retired Goan seafarers with a monthly aid of Rs 2,500.
It has been a pressing demand from the retired seamen that the state pension scheme for them may be revived.
“On the occasion of International Day of Seafarers, I am glad to announce the launch of New Pension Scheme for Goan Seafarers.
Under the scheme, a financial assistance of Rs 2,500 per month will be provided to retired seamen,” Sawant tweeted.
There are more than 3,000 seafarers and widows who had been receiving the aid from the state from 2012 onwards, until benefits under the scheme were stopped in October 2019.
The scheme was originally introduced under Manohar Parrikar as the chief minister in 2012.
