Delhi's Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana: A Step Towards Women's Empowerment

Delhi's Women's Minister Kailash Gahlot has instructed the preparation of a cabinet note for the implementation of the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, starting in the 2024-25 fiscal year. However, the process may face delays with Chief Minister Kejriwal in jail, affecting approval and implementation stages.

Delhi Women and Child Development Minister Kailash Gahlot has instructed his department to draft a cabinet note for the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, a scheme announced in the 2024-25 budget, officials reported on Monday.

The scheme aims to provide Rs 1,000 monthly to women aged above 18. The cabinet note will be reviewed by the finance, planning, and law departments for comments and approval. However, with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal currently in jail over the excise policy case, the scheme's implementation could face significant delays.

Once the cabinet note is approved internally, it must be presented to the Lt Governor for final approval. The scheme, which has allocated Rs 2,000 crore, targets women voters in Delhi who are not beneficiaries of any other government scheme, government employees, or income taxpayers.
