Subhadra Yojana portal to reopen on Aug 9: Apply online

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida today informed that the Subhadra Yojana website will reopen after the disbursal of the third instalment on August 9.

The portal will allow new eligible beneficiaries to apply on August 9.

Parida said that young women aged 21 years and above will be eligible to apply once the portal is reopened. 

A fresh survey will also be launched to identify and include nearly two lakh women who were previously left out of the scheme, she said.

“Several women were excluded from the scheme after they purchased vehicles, owned more than five acres of land, or filed income tax returns post their inclusion in the scheme. The new survey will ensure eligible women from such categories are reconsidered,” she clarified.

In addition, a list of around 93,000 beneficiaries who have crossed the age of 60 has been handed over to the Social Security Department. These individuals will not receive benefits under the Subhadra Yojana as they are eligible to get old age pension from the state government.
