Bhubaneswar, Sept 2: Odisha's Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida officially launched the Subhadra Yojana portal on Monday. Interested beneficiaries can now access detailed information about the scheme at the official website: subhadra.odisha.gov.in.

Parida announced that the Subhadra Yojana, a key initiative of the BJP government, will be formally inaugurated on September 17, coinciding with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday. The distribution of the scheme's first installment will also begin on that date.

The portal will provide comprehensive details about the scheme. Offline application forms are currently available, with collection set to start on September 4. Applicants must submit a photocopy of their Aadhaar card along with the application form at Mo Seba Kendras or Jana Seba Kendras. There is no fee for submitting the offline application.
