Over 18 lakh women who were beneficiaries of the Subhadra Yojana in the state received Rs 5,000 apiece on Saturday from Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi in the fourth phase of the first installment. At a celebration in the Jajpur district, Majhi distributed approximately Rs 900 crore via the direct benefit transfer (DBT) system, accompanied by Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida and Health Minister Mukesh Mahaling.This brings the total number of women who have received Rs 5,000 each under the BJP government's Subhadra Yojana in Odisha to above 98 lakh."Fulfilling the promise, the people's government has provided direct assistance to the beneficiaries through DBT, which has played a significant role in strengthening their financial condition," he stated.
According to the chief minister, this plan is helping to create a wealthy Odisha and is realizing the dreams and ambitions of the state's mother power. "I think that through starting small enterprises, all of the beneficiaries may improve their economic standing and empower themselves, which will improve the state's economic standing as well. Mothers' efforts and sacrifices will undoubtedly help the government realize its vision of a "developed Odisha," and the people's government is dedicated to this goal.
