Chhattisgarh marked International Women’s Day with a powerful gesture of empowerment as CM Vishnu Dev Sai initiated the 25th installment of Mahatari Vandan Yojana from Jagdalpur. Over 69 lakh eligible married women received their monthly Rs 1,000 via direct bank transfers, a one-click marvel of digital governance.
This annual Rs 12,000 support has become a game-changer, enabling women to invest in education, healthcare, home improvements, and micro-ventures. The Bastar-hosted summit resonated with gratitude from beneficiaries whose lives have visibly improved.
Building on the Rs 6,413.40 crore released in February for the previous round, the program now tallies Rs 1,62,373.30 crore in total aid. Transparency reigns supreme with no scope for corruption, serving nearly 70 lakh women efficiently.
CM Sai described the payout as emblematic of the state’s inclusive policies, positioning women’s upliftment as central to progress. Participants at the event celebrated not just the funds, but the newfound autonomy it brings to everyday decision-making.
As Chhattisgarh advances, schemes like Mahatari Vandan exemplify timely, accountable welfare, bridging gaps in rural economies and fortifying family foundations for a brighter future.
