The city of Bhubaneswar was recently buzzing with discussions surrounding the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the implementation of the SUBHADRA Yojana. On Saturday, Odisha's Deputy Chief Minister, Pravati Parida, addressed the ongoing political debate by announcing that the first instalment of the scheme, initially planned for Raksha Bandhan, will now be distributed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on September 17.
Parida made this announcement during a party event held in Puri, where she also responded to criticism from Leader of Opposition, Naveen Patnaik. Patnaik had raised concerns about the guidelines put forth by the BJP government for the SUBHADRA Yojana.
In her statement, Parida clarified that the SUBHADRA Yojana aims to benefit 1.08 crore women, who have been identified as eligible beneficiaries. She also highlighted that the scheme will specifically cater to widows, Divyang women, and women artists who are already receiving allowances.
Furthermore, Parida explained that women can enroll for the scheme through a self-declaration process, which will require approval from their local MLA. She also mentioned that women who turn 21 years old by July 1, 2024, will also be eligible for the benefits under the SUBHADRA Yojana.
As the discussions surrounding the SUBHADRA Yojana continue, Parida's announcement has shed some light on the details of the scheme. It is expected to bring significant benefits to a large number of women in Odisha, providing them with financial support and opportunities for growth.
