Correct Answer : Odisha
On September 17, his 74th birthday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the Subhadra Yojana, the Odisha government’s scheme to transfer Rs 10,000 per year to eligible women beneficiaries in the state between the ages of 21 and 60.
The Mohan Charan Majhi government has planned a massive congregation of women from across the state at Bhubaneswar’s Janata Maidan for the launch of the scheme. Arrangements have been made to telecast the PM’s program live at the panchayat and block levels.
Awareness drives are being organised statewide, and all government departments have been asked to use the Subhadra logo in their official communication and social media handles.
Subhadra scheme :
The scheme is named after Goddess Subhadra, the younger sibling of Lord Jagannath, the presiding deity of
Odisha.
Lord Jagannath, who is deeply revered in the 90%-Hindu state, is always depicted as part of a triad of deities that includes Subhadra and their oldest sibling, Balabhadra.
Over five years
until 2028-29, the scheme will provide more than
1 crore women across the state with financial assistance of
Rs 10,000 annually. The transfers will be made in two instalments of
Rs 5,000 each, on Rakhi Purnima (Raksha Bandhan, which typically falls in August), and
International Women’s Day (March 8) every year..
