|March 09, 2025
Chief minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday said the Delhi cabinet has approved ₹5,100 crore as the annual budget towards the Mahila Samridhi Yojana aimed at providing ₹2,500 to eligible women in the Capital, paving the way for what she claimed was one of the foremost steps towards ensuring the economic stability of underprivileged women in the city.
NEW DELHI:
Speaking at an event organised by Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Mahila Morcha at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on the occasion of International Women's Day, Gupta said that a committee has been formed under her leadership with cabinet ministers Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma, Ashish Sood and Kapil Mishra as its members to implement the scheme.
"The promise of ₹2,500 made to my sisters of Delhi has been given the stamp of approval by the cabinet today. The cabinet has allocated ₹5,100 crore for Mahila Samridhi Yojana so my poor sisters of Delhi can start getting the benefit. It is a major step towards ensuring economic stability and social upliftment of women, particularly those from poor families," Gupta said.
