Delhi's Mahila Samriddhi Yojana: Empowering Women with Financial Support

The BJP government in Delhi has approved the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, allocating Rs 5,100 crore to provide a monthly assistance of Rs 2,500 to women from poor families. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the scheme's approval during an International Women's Day event, emphasizing women's safety and prosperity.

The Delhi government, led by the BJP, has launched the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, providing a much-needed financial boost to women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. With an annual allocation of Rs 5,100 crore, the scheme promises monthly assistance of Rs 2,500 to its beneficiaries.

At an event marking International Women's Day, BJP president J P Nadda praised the initiative and commended Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for her leadership. Gupta stated that a committee has been established to ensure effective implementation, with members including key ministers Ashish Sood, Parvesh Verma, and Kapil Mishra.

The initiative, which fulfills a key promise from the BJP's election manifesto, will also emphasize women's safety. The Delhi government is planning to establish one-stop centers in all districts, offering legal and police assistance. Advanced technology will play a crucial role in maintaining transparency and effectiveness, with Aadhaar-based e-KYC used for applicant screening.
