The Odisha government has disbursed the 3rd phase of the first instalment under the Subhadra Yojana, providing ₹5,000 each to over 20 lakh women. The initiative aims to empower women through direct financial support.
The funds were distributed during a public event in Sundargarh, Odisha. Chief Minister Mohan Majhi announced that more than ₹1,000 crore has been transferred under the scheme so far, benefiting 80 lakh women. The state government plans to extend the programme to cover over 1 crore women by December 2024.
