Bhubaneswar, August 11: The standard operating procedure (SOP) for the much hyped Subhadra Yojana of new BJP government in Odisha will be announced on August 15, Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida said on Saturday.
“SOP on implementation of the Subhadra Yojana and its beneficiaries will be announced on August 15 by the government. Modalities and format of the scheme will also become clear with finalisation of the SOP and women from higher income groups or those paying income tax may not be covered under the scheme of the state government”, said Parida.
She also urged women not to get influenced by the misinformation campaign launched by the Opposition political parties. The scheme will be rolled out in the state on September 17.
"Rs 10,000 crore has been allocated by the state government in the 2024-25 budget for the scheme but funds will not be a constraint and allocation will increase, if required", she added.
Earlier, Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi had announced that the scheme will be launched on September 17, marking the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Under the scheme, women will get cash voucher of Rs 50,000 each. Around 5 lakh women will attend the event.
