Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the Subhadra Yojana of the Odisha Government at the Janata Maidan here, today.

Eligible beneficiaries of the Subhadra Yojana will receive Rs 5,000 in their bank accounts with the launch of the scheme.

The beneficiaries have already received Re 1 in their registered bank accounts during the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) testing, ahead of the launch of the scheme.

More than 1 crore women across Odisha will be benefited under the Subhadra scheme.

The women who had registered themselves for the scheme by September 15 will get the first instalment through their bank accounts on September 17, said Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida.
