Odisha Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida on Sunday officially announced that the deadline to submit applications for the 'Subhadra' scheme is March 31. All the eligible applicants who apply by this date are set to receive financial benefit at a time.

"On the occasion of Rakhi Purnima, beneficiaries will receive their payments in three instalments," said Paraida highlighting the cultural significance of the festival when the scheme's funds are distributed.

Target Reaches 1 Crore Milestone

Odisha Deputy CM emphasised that 'Subhadra' magic number is anticipated to exceed 1 crore which is a remarkable milestone within eight months.

Odisha is all set to mark International Women’s Day on March 8 with the disbursement of the second instalment of the Subhadra Yojana. The ambitious Subhadra Yojana was launched on September 17, 2024, after the formation of the BJP government for the first time in Odisha.

Under the 5th phase disbursement under the Subhadra Yojana, the state government is going to release the 1st instalment on March 6, 2025.

"The scheme is on track to empower women on an unprecedented scale," she added, noting the transformative impact on beneficiaries across Odisha.
