From Majhi Ladki Behan to Lakkhi Bhandar... these schemes are run only for women..

In recent times, the approach of political parties towards elections has changed. Parties have found a new formula to win elections in the form of 'half the population'. Perhaps that is why before the elections of any state, different political parties announce special schemes for women. Elections were held in 13 states between November 2023 and November 2024. In 9 of these, schemes like Madhya Pradesh's 'Laadli Behna' were implemented or promised to be implemented. These schemes also contributed to the party which won the election. In this article, we are going to tell you about some such schemes:-

Mahila Samridhi Yojana (Delhi BJP Government)

The BJP government announced this scheme in December 2024 for the poor and deprived women of Delhi. During the Delhi Assembly elections, BJP had mentioned this scheme in its Sankalp Patra. On the occasion of International Women's Day on 8 March 2025, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta launched the Mahila Samridhi Yojana.

After forming the government in Odisha, the Bharatiya Janata Party is running a special scheme for women. This scheme is named after Goddess Subhadra, the younger sister of Lord Jagannath. On 17 September 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched 'Subhadra Yojana' on the occasion of his birthday. This is a welfare scheme of the Odisha government to promote economic and social empowerment among women. Through this, women can start their businesses and make themselves self-reliant. Through this scheme, Rs 10,000 is sent to the account of eligible women in two installments. If you calculate it for the month, it is Rs 833. This scheme has been started for 5 years.
