The Chhattisgarh government has released the 22nd installment of this crucial scheme for women in the state. Under this scheme, financial assistance of ₹1,000 per month is deposited directly into the bank accounts of every eligible woman. The primary objective of this scheme is to empower women financially, enabling them to increase their participation in the family, meet their basic needs, or start a small business. This assistance is not only available to married women, but also helps divorced and widowed women become self-reliant.
Mahtari Vandan Yojana
Mahtari Vandan Yojana was launched in Chhattisgarh by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 10, 2024. Under this visionary scheme, every eligible woman in the state receives direct financial assistance of ₹12,000 per year, with ₹1,000 transferred to their bank account every month. The primary goal of this scheme is to empower women with self-reliance, enabling them to actively participate in Chhattisgarh’s development, reduce social discrimination, and significantly promote women’s participation in families.
On December 3, 2025, Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai successfully transferred the 22nd installment of the Mahatari Vandan Yojana to the bank accounts of eligible women. The Chief Minister stated that receiving funds directly into women’s bank accounts not only provides financial assistance but also significantly helps meet the nutritional, health, and educational needs of the family.
