In a major relief to sugar factory staffers, the State government has extended the scheme for providing grant-in-aid to the Sanjivani Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd till December end.
In a notification issued, Director Agriculture Sandeep Fol Desai said that the government has decided to extend the financial benefit to the factory till December 31 or until the employees take voluntary retirement.
The factory has got around 170 employees including 99 regular staff.
The factory, which was running under losses over decades, has stopped production since 2019 and since then the State government has been providing financial support.
