The Punjab government has announced the ‘Mukh Mantri Mavan Dhiyan Satkar Scheme’, under which adult women in the state will receive monthly financial assistance. The announcement was made in the state budget on the occasion of International Women’s Day, fulfilling a major election promise of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)-led government.
Under the scheme, women belonging to Scheduled Castes will receive ₹1,500 per month, while other adult women will receive ₹1,000 per month. The government will transfer the amount directly to the beneficiaries’ bank accounts.
Ludhiana Mayor Principal Inderjit Kaur welcomed the decision and congratulated the residents, stating that AAP, led by National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, has fulfilled a key promise made to women in Punjab.
