Newly appointed Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta reaffirmed her commitment to implementing the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, which promises ₹2,500 per month to eligible women in the capital, as per news reports.
Speaking at a press conference on February 23, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta addressed concerns over the scheme’s execution amid financial constraints. She acknowledged the financial challenges inherited from the previous administration but assured that the government is actively working on finalising the scheme’s details.
CM Rekha Gupta claimed that upon reviewing the state’s financial situation, her administration found the government exchequer to be empty. This is creating hurdles for new welfare initiatives.
Despite these challenges, she assured that the government remains committed to fulfilling its promises, including the ₹2,500 monthly financial assistance under the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana.
Gupta emphasised that discussions with government officials are ongoing to finalise the scheme’s framework. Several meetings have been held to assess the financial feasibility and develop an efficient rollout plan.
While no specific date for implementation was announced, the government is expected to release official guidelines in the coming weeks, as per news reports.
Despite financial challenges, the Delhi government under CM Rekha Gupta remains committed to launching the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana. Further details on eligibility, funding sources, and the application process are expected soon.
