Bal Thackeray Upgath Vima Yojana
Late Bal Thackeray, one of the biggest names in Indian politics, has lost his life in 2012. He was an ace politician who founded and created a leading political party Shiv Sena. Though he has lost his life 4 years back, still his party workers try hard to make his name bigger and better. Whenever government launches any scheme for the people of Maharashtra, Shiv Sena workers tend to rename them with the Late Bal Thackeray tag with it. They have renamed nearly 5 government schemes with Late Bal Thackeray’s name. In recent times, the state government of Maharashtra has launched a scheme for the accident victims and gave it a name of Late Shree Bal Thackeray. The scheme is called Bal Thackeray Upgath Vima Yojana. Here in this following article, I will give some important details of the scheme.

According to the scheme, if a person meets an accident, then he / she can get medical assistance of up to Rs. 30, 000/- under any recognised trauma care medical centre. The scheme is launched to cure the mental trauma of the victims who met unfortunate accidents while driving or walking on the roads.
State government of Maharashtra has launched the scheme for the people who go through mental stress and trauma after the accident occurred. As people know that sometimes even after getting healed physically, a victim takes long time to cure from mental stress that appears due to the accident. This scheme is specially launched for them.
