Mahila Samriddhi Yojana: For a long time, women in Delhi have been eagerly awaiting the launch of this government scheme offering ₹2,500. With the presentation of this year’s budget, that wait is finally coming to an end. The government has provided details regarding the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana in the budget, under which eligible women will now receive ₹2,500 every month.

The aim is to assist needy women in managing their household expenses and to empower them financially. Amidst rising inflation, this financial aid could prove to be a significant relief for small families. The government has allocated a budget of ₹5,100 crore for this initiative. Read on to find out which women are eligible to receive these funds and how to apply for the scheme.
