For those in the rejected list, the Deputy CM advised them to visit their nearest seva kendras and do the necessary rectifications in their Aadhaar Cards or Bank Account numbers to avail the benefits in the fourth, which is also the last phase of 1st installment of the prestigious Subhadra Yojana.

Initially, the funds for this phase were scheduled for disbursement on December 25, 2024. However, the state government has postponed the release to ensure accurate delivery to over 2 million beneficiaries.

In the previous third phase, funding successfully reached around 2 million women. On November 24, funds were distributed to 2 million women beneficiaries in the third phase of the scheme.

Overall, the Subhadra Yojana, a flagship initiative of the Odisha state government, has benefited as many as 8 million women so far. The Subhadra Yojana is a major initiative aimed at empowering women across Odisha, providing financial support to promote socio-economic development in the region.

The programme continues to be a pivotal element in the state’s agenda to uplift women from various socio-economic backgrounds, providing them with essential financial support and resources to improve their livelihoods.
