20-Mar-2018: Surrender Cum Rehabilitation of Militants has been revised

There is a Surrender-cum-Rehabilitation Scheme for North-East States since 01.04.1998. The scheme is to wean away the misguided youth and hardcore militant who have strayed into the fold of militancy and find themselves trapped into that net. The Scheme also seeks to ensure that the militants who have surrendered do not find it attractive to join militancy again.

The Scheme has been revised to make it more effective and will come into effect from 01.04.2018. In the revised scheme, the stipend of the surrendered is being increased from Rs.3500/- p.m. to Rs.6000/- p.m. and the one time grant from Rs. 1.5 lakh to Rs. 4 lakh. There is also revised incentives for the weapons surrendered by the insurgents.

Rehabilitation Scheme for Jammu & Kashmir has been notified by the state government on 31.01.2004 and is being implemented by the state government.
