IMPLEMENTING its first poll promise of welfare schemes, the BJP-ruled Delhi government is set to launch the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana (MSY) on Saturday that will provide ₹2,500 per month to eligible women in the national capital.
The launch strategically coincides with the International Women's Day that falls on March 8. According to officials, a dedicated portal and mobile application will be unveiled to facilitate easy registration for beneficiaries.
The launch event, expected to draw a crowd of 5,000 women, will take place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, with BJP National President JP Nadda, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and other senior leaders in attendance.
Officials said the scheme aims to assist around 20 lakh women in Delhi.
