Bhubaneswar, Nov 21: The Anganwadi workers will be included in the third phase of the Subhadra Yojana, said Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida.

"The Anganwadi workers will be included in the third phase of the first instalment of the Subhadra Yojana," said Dy CM Parida while giving update on the Odisha government's flagship scheme. "The verification works have been completed," she added.

She also said that around one crore women will get Subhadra Yojana money by December 2024, which means the benificiaries will get the money in the fourth phase of the first instalment in December.

"An important meeting will be held this evening to include the 2,67,000 beneficiaries who have been left out for different issues," informed the Deputy CM.

Pravati Parida, who is also the Minister of Women and Child Development, Mission Shakti, and Tourism, said that as many as 20 lakh women will get the first instalment -- Rs 5,000 -- of the Subhadra Yojana, November 24.

"After the disbursement of the money, the number of the scheme's benificiaries will move to 80 lakh in total, including the 20 lakh on the day," shared Parida.

The Dy CM also informed that the number of Subhadra Yojana applicants have now reached to one crore and 16 lakh.

She also appealed five lakh applicants to give single accounts. "It's because there multiple accounts are linked to a single mobile number, which create confusion," explained Pravati Parida.
