Subhadra Yojana’s Third Instalment to Empower Over 1 Crore Women on Raksha Bandhan
(OT Webdesk)In a symbolic gesture of empowerment coinciding with Raksha Bandhan, the Odisha government is set to disburse the third instalment of its flagship Subhadra Yojana this Saturday.
The initiative will benefit over one crore women across the state, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to inclusive growth and gender equity.
Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida has reached Jeypore to oversee the distribution event, which will also be attended by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi.
The ceremony is expected to draw large crowds, reflecting the scheme’s widespread impact.
During her visit, Parida will also tour the Kotia region to review development projects and engage with Anganwadi workers and “Lakhpati Didis.” This marks her first official visit to Kotia since assuming office.
Addressing concerns about pending applications, Parida clarified that nearly 2 lakh submissions are under verification. “No fresh application is needed. Eligible women will receive benefits post-verification,” she assured.
The Subhadra Yojana continues to serve as a cornerstone of Odisha’s welfare strategy, aiming to uplift women through direct financial support and sustained engagement.
