The online application portal will reportedly be open to all eligible applicants across the state, except in areas where the Model Code of Conduct is currently in force.
Notably, Subhadra Yojana, an ambitious women-centric welfare scheme of the BJP government, was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his birthday (September 17) in 2024.
The scheme is designed to provide eligible women aged 21 to 60 years with Rs 50,000 over five years, from 2024-25 to 2028-29.
Each beneficiary will receive Rs 10,000 per year in two instalments of Rs 5,000 each one on Rakhi Purnima, and the other on International Women’s Day (March 8).
