The ruling AAP government announced the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana for eligible women above the age of 18 in the UT.
Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana: Months ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday (Dec 12) notified the launch of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana under which eligible women above the age of 18 will be offered monthly financial assistance of Rs 1,000. The former Delhi chief minister added that the sum will be increased to Rs 2,100 if AAP returns to power. The initiative aims to provide financial support to women, particularly those from underprivileged backgrounds. A budget of Rs 2,000 crore has been set aside for this scheme, which was proposed in the Delhi government's 2024/25 budget.
“I had promised Rs 1,000 per month for women of Delhi. And I am happy to announce that CM Atishi's cabinet has approved this scheme today. Now women can register and avail this scheme,” Mr Kejriwal said during a press conference.
