Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister said, “The 'Subhadra' scheme has been successfully implemented with utmost importance to empower the women of the state. Fulfilling the promise, the people's government has today provided direct assistance to the beneficiaries through DBT, which has played a significant role in strengthening their financial condition.”

“This scheme is fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the mothers and sisters of the state and is helping in building a prosperous Odisha,” he added.

With this, a total of over 98 lakh women have received Rs 5,000 each under the Subhadra Yojana launched by the State government last year.

Subhadra Yojana was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Odisha on September 17, 2024, after the BJP came to power in the state after defeating the BJD which had been ruling the state for 24 years.
