Bhubaneswar, Nov 1: The Odisha Government has announced that newly approved beneficiaries under the Subhadra Yojana will receive financial assistance on March 8, coinciding with International Women’s Day. According to official sources, the new recipients will receive two installments together as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to empower women through direct financial support.

Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida informed that all necessary administrative and technical preparations have been completed to ensure a smooth and transparent disbursement process. Launching the revamped Subhadra Yojana online portal on Saturday, she said eligible women can now apply directly through the platform.
