More than 5 million women will receive their first payment from the Subhadra Yojana on September 17, as announced by the Deputy Chief Minister.

In Bhubaneswar, it has been announced that over 50 lakh women in Odisha who have registered for the Subhadra Yojana will receive the first installment of Rs 5,000 each on September 17. This exciting news was shared by Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida on Saturday. The launch of the Subhadra Yojana will be graced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 17 at a special event to be held at Janata Maidan. Women from all over the state will also be present at this event.

It is noteworthy that all women between the ages of 21 to 60 years in Odisha will be covered under this scheme. According to official sources, around one crore women will be benefited from this initiative. The Deputy Chief Minister further added that those women who have registered for the scheme by September 15 will receive the first installment directly in their bank accounts on September 17.

Under this scheme, eligible women will receive Rs 5000 each year in two installments for a period of five years. The state government has already allocated a budget of Rs 10,000 crore for this scheme in the annual budget for 2024-25. The amount will be transferred to the bank accounts of the beneficiaries every year on Raksha Bandhan and International Women's Day.

In light of this exciting development, Pravati Parida, who handles the Women and Child Development department, has also announced that a padayatra (a march on foot) will be organized in every gram panchayat of the state on Sunday as a part of an awareness campaign about the scheme. The capital city will also see a padayatra starting from the Giridurga temple and ending at Rama Devi University. This initiative aims to spread awareness among women about the Subhadra Yojana and its benefits.
