The Subhadra scheme, launched by Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Majhi, aims to provide financial assistance to one crore women in the state. The scheme promises ₹50,000 to women aged 21 to 60 over five years, with a total budget allocation of ₹55,825 crore. The funds will be disbursed in annual instalments of ₹10,000, divided into two payments, and will be directly credited to beneficiaries' Aadhaar-enabled bank accounts. This initiative is a significant step towards empowering women in Odisha.
