A bit of background on the financial assistance to women:
The BJP’s manifesto had termed the scheme as Mahila Samriddhi Yojana to provide financial assistance of ₹2,500 monthly to women from “poor families”.
On March 8 last year, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that the Delhi cabinet had approved a government scheme, Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, to give financial assistance of ₹2,500 per month to women. The government had also decided to set aside a budgetary allocation of ₹5,100 crore for the scheme, the CM had said.
But the scheme is yet to actually start in Delhi.
