Bhubaneswar, Nov 1: The Odisha government is actively working on new guidelines for the Subhadra Yojana, aimed at ensuring that all eligible women can access the benefits of the scheme. These updated guidelines will address the issues surrounding the rejection of numerous applications from women on various grounds.
