Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann announced the launch of the Mukh Mantri Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna, which will begin on July 1. This initiative aims to empower women by providing financial assistance to eligible recipients. Under the scheme, each eligible woman will receive ₹1,000 per month, while women from the Scheduled Caste category will receive ₹1,500. The Punjab Government has earmarked ₹9,300 crore for this program, which is expected to benefit approximately 97% of women in the state. CM Mann emphasized that while the financial aid may not make women wealthy, it is designed to provide them with dignity and self-respect. He highlighted the importance of women's financial autonomy in improving household welfare and enhancing their participation in social and economic decision-making. The registration process is currently in progress, with lakhs of women enrolling daily through designated centers, including Anganwadi Centres and Sewa Kendras. This initiative is positioned as a significant step towards empowering women and ensuring they lead lives filled with dignity and confidence.
