Bhubaneswar: Odisha Deputy CM Pravati Parida on Monday assured that every eligible beneficiary of Subhadra Yojana will get the first installment of the BJP goverment’s flagship scheme credited to their bank accounts on September 17
Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Parida emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring timely financial assistance to women across the state.
The Subhadra Yojana, aimed at empowering women aged 21 to 60, promises a total of ₹50,000 in financial aid distributed over five years. Beneficiaries will receive ₹10,000 annually, credited in two equal installments of ₹5,000 each. This initiative is expected to benefit over 1 crore women in Odisha, providing much-needed economic support and promoting financial independence.
Deputy CM Parida addressed concerns regarding the initial verification process, where some beneficiaries did not receive the trial credit of ₹1. “We have conducted a trial run by crediting ₹1 to beneficiaries’ accounts to check the system. Those who did not receive it will still get the first installment on September 17,” she assured. Parida also advised beneficiaries to be cautious of cyber frauds and avoid suspicious links related to the scheme
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to officially launch the Subhadra Yojana during his visit to Odisha on September 17, marking his birthday. The launch event will take place in Bhubaneswar, where the Prime Minister will also interact with beneficiaries and lay the foundation for several development projects worth ₹3,800 crore
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan highlighted the significance of the scheme, stating, “Prime Minister Modi has given a big gift to the women of the state. This initiative will uplift women economically and support their financial independence.”
As the Subhadra Yojana rolls out, the Odisha government remains focused on ensuring that all eligible women receive their due benefits, reinforcing its commitment to women’s welfare and empowerment.
