Subhadra Scheme: New Applications to Begin on April 1, Eligible Women to Receive Annual ₹10,000

Bhubaneswar, March 29: The Odisha government has announced the commencement of a new application process under the Subhadra Scheme, aimed at economically empowering women in the state. Interested beneficiaries for the fiscal year 2026-27 can apply from April 1 to April 30, 2026. The government has clarified that only new applications will be accepted during this period.

According to the information provided, applicants must be women aged between 21 and 60 years as of April 1, 2026, to qualify for the scheme. Eligible women will receive a total annual financial assistance of ₹10,000, which will be disbursed in two installments directly into their bank accounts. This financial support will be effective from the 2026-27 fiscal year and will continue throughout the duration of the scheme.

To simplify the application process, the government has made extensive arrangements. Interested women can apply through Common Service Centers (CSC) or the Aam Seva Kendras (ASK) via the Subhadra portal. Additionally, application forms will be available free of charge at all Anganwadi centers and CDPO offices, ensuring that women from rural and remote areas can easily apply.

The government has also made it clear that women who have previously applied under this scheme will not have their applications accepted again. Only new beneficiaries will be given the opportunity this time.

The Subhadra Scheme is considered a significant initiative towards women’s empowerment in the state. The government’s goal is to ensure that as many eligible women as possible benefit from this scheme and improve their economic status. Administrative preparations have been made to ensure that no qualified woman is left out of this initiative.
