Mother..This is a name that contains the whole world in itself. From bringing us into this world to making us stand on our own feet, mother fulfills countless responsibilities every day. Sometimes she caresses us with love and affection, and sometimes she becomes Durga and stands as a shield against the difficulties coming our way.
The status of a mother is such that it is perhaps not possible to describe it in words. Today, on the special occasion of Mother’s Day, the whole world is saluting mothers. On this special day, we are introducing you to some such schemes of the Modi government, which can bring happiness to the life of a mother. So, give your mother the loving gift of these schemes on this Mother’s Day.
PM Matru Vandana Yojana
The central government started the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana in January 2017 for the special care of mother and child. The success of this scheme can be gauged from the fact that more than 3 crore women have benefited from it. Under the Matru Vandana Yojana, the government gives ₹ 5000 for nutrition to a woman who is pregnant for the first time.
Not only this, if the mother gives birth to a daughter for the second time, then ₹ 6000 will come into the account! You can get complete information about how to apply for this scheme, what its eligibility is, by clicking on Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana. This scheme is a boon for both mother and child.
Ujjwala Yojana
PM Ujjwala Yojana has been so successful that Ujjwala 3.0 has also been launched! Under this scheme, along with giving free gas connection to eligible families, 12 LPG gas cylinders can also be found in a year at the rate of ₹ 550. However, one condition of this scheme is that the subsidy money will come into the account of the female member of the family only.
This benefit will be available only if the head of the family is a woman. The purpose of launching this scheme of the Modi government is to improve the health of women troubled by the smoke of the stove and to make it easier for them to work in the kitchen. This scheme is a big step towards not only health but also women’s empowerment.
PM Awas Yojana Gramin
Under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Gramin, the central government gives ₹ 1.20 lakh in plain areas and ₹ 1.30 lakh in hilly areas to needy families to build a pucca house. There are many conditions to apply for this scheme. However, if the application is made in the name of a female member of the family, priority will be given. So, if your mother also has a dream of having a pucca house of her own, then this scheme can fulfill it soon.
PM Mudra Yojana
Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana was launched to promote self-employment and increase employment opportunities in the country. Under this scheme, a loan of ₹ 50,000 to ₹ 10 lakh is available at a very low interest rate to start your own business. The special thing about this scheme is that if a woman applies for this loan, she gets a separate subsidy on interest. This scheme helps women to become financially self-reliant and realize their dreams.
PM Suman Yojana
The Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Assurance Yojana or PM Suman Yojana was launched by the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to provide better health facilities to pregnant women and infants. Under this scheme, if pregnant women need an operation at the time of delivery, the government will bear the cost.
Beneficiary women will be examined from time to time. Injections and supplements will be given from time to time to provide proper nutrition to the mother and child. Any pregnant woman can avail of this scheme. This scheme ensures the health and safety of both mother and child.
PM Swarnim Yojana
Women from backward classes who want to start their own business can avail the Swarnim Yojana. Under this scheme, a loan of ₹ 2 lakh is easily available at an interest rate of 5 percent to start a business. This scheme is a boon for women who are financially weak but want to start something of their own.
So, this Mother’s Day, why not let your mom know about these schemes and help her avail them? It will be your true love and respect towards her.
