Budget 2026-27 Boosts Tea Worker Welfare

The Indian government's budget for 2026-27 includes good news for tea workers.

They have extended a special program called PMCSPY to help workers, especially women and children, in Assam and West Bengal.

This program focuses on improving education and health services.

The budget also increased money for the Tea Board, which helps the tea industry.

The tea industry is happy because this support will help them and the workers.

They expect to produce and export more tea next year.

However, some industry leaders say the tea prices are too low, and they need more help to make a profit.
