Stating that over 97,000 applications for the scheme were pending by Tuesday night, she said almost all the applications have been approved during verification. However, applications of around 2,000 women have been rejected probably because of some mistakes in the information relating to bank accounts, said Parida.

The Deputy CM said that all eligible beneficiaries get themselves registered will receive the first instalment under the scheme, which was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday.

Notably, the Prime Minister launched Subhadra Yojana, the state government’s flagship scheme aimed at empowering women in the state and making them self-sufficient.
