Over VND397 billion in Tet gifts for social policy beneficiaries
The Minister of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MoLISA) has asked the State President to reserve VND397.305 billion in the 2014 State budget to purchase gifts for social policy beneficiaries during the approaching Lunar New Year (Tet) Festival.
Social policy beneficiaries include pensioners, Agent Orange/Dioxin victims, and citizens who have rendered great services to the nation’s revolutionary cause, such as heroes of the armed forces, war veterans, heroic mothers, war invalids, and the families of martyred soldiers.
Each Tet gift is worth between VND200,000 and VND400,000.
