Delhi government launches Mahila Samman Yojana to support women with monthly aid
The Delhi government has approved the Mahila Samman Yojana, which will provide eligible women with ₹1000 monthly. This decision comes as the Aam Aadmi Party prepares for the upcoming assembly elections in February 2024. The scheme was initially announced in the 2024-25 budget, with an allocation of ₹2,000 crore. However, it faced delays due to budgetary concerns raised by the Finance department. The AAP aims to maintain its majority in the Delhi assembly, having previously won 67 seats in 2015 and 63 seats in 2020.
