Women Empowerment Initiatives See Progress Under Yogi Government

Welfare programs for women have been demonstrated to have a measurable impact in Uttar Pradesh during the past year, especially in safety, education, and economic support areas, under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. Positive changes in women’s living conditions are evident in the official data and the situation on the ground.

The state-wide “Beti Bachao Beti Padhao” campaign realized more than 13,600 activities this year and thus, the girls and women who benefitted from it were 25.5 lakh. The programme’s objectives include societal attitude changes, improvement of the child sex ratio, education for girls, and health, safety, and nutrition awareness among the population.

Another important measure, the “Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana,” has already allocated a whopping over ₹130 crore in support of more than 3.28 lakh girls’ education and life milestones. The scheme is designed to offer financial aid at important periods of the child’s life from birth to higher education, thereby facilitating the parents’ or guardians’ support for the girl child’s future.

Single women with no means of support are being helped by the “Nirashrit Mahila Pension Yojana,” which provides them with monthly stipends. Approximately 39 lakh women are recipients of this program, ₹1,200 crore has already been allocated for this year, and an additional amount has been set aside in the supplementary budget.https://thecsrjournal.in/yogi-government-strengthens-empowerment-of-women-with-disabilities-in-uttar-pradesh/
