Empowering Women: The Mahtari Vandan Yojana

To strengthen healthcare and economic self-reliance among women, the Mahtari Vandan Yojana has been a game-changer. The scheme provides a monthly financial assistance of ₹1,000 to women, enabling them to meet their daily needs, invest in small businesses, or save for the future. Beneficiaries like Sarita Nirmalkar from Durg, who works as a domestic help, and Vimala from Raipur, who invests her stipend in a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP), illustrate the transformative impact of this initiative.

With ₹1,000 crore disbursed under the programme, this initiative is fostering self-reliance among women at the grassroots level. Chief Minister Sai emphasises that strong families build strong villages, and strong villages create a resilient state and nation.

Revitalising the Rural Economy: The Krishak Unnati Yojana

The Krishak Unnati Yojana has been pivotal in boosting the rural economy. This scheme, coupled with paddy bonuses, ensures economic stability for farmers by: Procuring 21 quintals of rice per acre at a fixed price of ₹ 3,100 per quintal.

Disbursing pending paddy bonuses from the past two years, infusing much-needed funds into the rural economy.

These measures have rejuvenated agricultural activities and stimulated local markets, benefiting small and medium enterprises while creating job opportunities.
