Raipur, January 29

Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai will release the 24th instalment of the Chhattisgarh Government’s Mahtari Vandan Yojana on 30 January at a state-level programme to be held in Narayanpur.

Since the launch of the scheme, a total amount of Rs. 14,954.42 crore has already been transferred directly into the bank accounts of women beneficiaries through 23 instalments. This system has ensured “financial transparency and efficiency” while emerging as a strong and impactful initiative in the direction of women’s empowerment.

With the release of Rs. 641.34 crore as the 24th instalment by Chief Minister Shri Sai, the total amount disbursed under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana will increase to Rs. 15,595.77 crore. This reflects the state government’s “strong commitment towards women’s welfare and empowerment” and clearly demonstrates that lakhs of women across Chhattisgarh are directly benefiting from the scheme in a transparent and timely manner.
