The Odisha government would release the third part of the first instalment of Subhadra Yojana on November 24, according to Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida on Saturday.
Parida made this significant news on her return from London at Biju Patnaik International Airport, indicating that the third phase of the Subhadra Yojana will be launched in Sundargarh district in the presence of various ministers. This phase is intended to benefit more than 20 lakh women, with cash aid deposited straight into their bank accounts.
Speaking to the media, Parida said, “A function will be held in Sundargarh district for the purpose on November 24. The state government has directed all panchayat offices to publish the list of rejected applicants, enabling them to understand the reasons for rejection and reapply. Over 20 lakh women are expected to receive their money in the third phase. Ultimately, over 1 crore women will benefit from the scheme by December, as part of the government’s ambitious initiative to empower women across Odisha.”
Parida further announced that the third round of financial assistance under the Subhadra Yojana will be credited straight to beneficiaries’ bank accounts on the specified day. This phase will include all individuals that were previously excluded.
Notably, this measure is part of the Odisha government’s major campaign to empower women, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated on September 17, 2024.
