About this listen
The article details the Delhi government's approval of the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, a scheme providing ₹2,500 monthly financial assistance to eligible women. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced the scheme, highlighting its ₹5,100 crore annual budget and the use of technology for transparent disbursement. Eligibility includes women aged 18-60 with a family income below ₹3 lakh who are not government employees or recipients of other government aid. The ruling BJP hailed the scheme as a step towards women's empowerment, while the opposition AAP criticised it as a betrayal of promises made to the women of Delhi. A special committee and online portal will oversee the implementation and registration process. The initiative aims to provide economic security and independence for women in Delhi.
