The Trinamool Congress today announced plans to roll out a direct cash transfer scheme for women in Goa if it is voted to power in the state after the Assembly polls due in February next year.
Under the scheme titled Griha Laxmi, Rs 5,000 would be transferred to a woman of every household per month as guaranteed income support to counter inflation once the party comes to power, Trinamool leader Mahua Moitra said.
The party would soon start distributing cards for the scheme, she said, adding that these cards carrying unique identification numbers would become operational once the Trinamool forms a government in Goa.
The Mamata Banerjee-led party has announced that it would be contesting all 40 seats in the state.
