The decision was taken in a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot last night, officials said.
The cash amount includes Rs 5 lakh given by the state government, Rs 2 lakh from PM relief fund, and Rs 1.5 lakh each from SDRF and Uttarakhand government's relief fund.
A cash relief of Rs 25,000 will be given to those injured in the floods, and undergoing treatment in hospitals.
To girls who have lost either of their parents in the tragedy, the state government will provide monthly relief of Rs 4,000 besides a fixed deposit of Rs 4 lakh.
Those who do not choose to take up the government job will be given other packages that includes monthly allowance, officials said, adding that various other facilities and allowances will also be provided to different sections of
