West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari is set to inaugurate the Annapurna Yojana on June 3, a significant welfare initiative aimed at supporting women in the state. Under this scheme, eligible women will receive ₹3,000 monthly, a substantial increase compared to the previous 'Lakshmir Bhandar' scheme which provided a maximum of ₹1,500 per month. The launch will be conducted virtually, allowing beneficiaries to participate from various block and municipal venues across West Bengal. District administrations have been instructed to ensure smooth execution of the program, with district magistrates overseeing the arrangements. On the day of the launch, 100 beneficiaries from each block and municipality, including the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, will receive their sanction letters, which are to be identified by Sub-Divisional Officers and Block Development Officers, subject to final approval from local authorities. This initiative is a key component of the BJP's election promises, reflecting the government's commitment to enhancing women's welfare in the state.
