So, are the women of Uttarakhand also about to receive a significant gift? The Uttarakhand government is preparing to implement a scheme similar to Bihar’s Chief Minister Women’s Employment Scheme. This means that women in the state will also receive money in their accounts.
Following the Chief Minister’s Women’s Employment Scheme, which proved to be a game-changer in Bihar, women in Uttarakhand could receive a significant gift. A major announcement could also be made for the youth. Under the Women’s Employment Scheme in Bihar , over 15 million women were given an initial assistance of ₹10,000 each to start their own businesses. Financial assistance of up to ₹2 lakh was also promised for expanding their business after six months.
Similarly, the Chief Minister’s Promise Scheme was launched to help youth with internships in large companies. Under this scheme, young people are being given a monthly stipend of up to ₹6,000. Now, it has been reported that a Direct Benefit Scheme for women and youth could be launched in Uttarakhand as well. It should be noted that Uttarakhand is going to have assembly elections in 2027. Consequently, a major announcement could be made by the BJP government.
Received these signals
BJP state president Mahendra Bhatt has hinted at this. He said that Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami may soon take a significant decision regarding the Direct Benefit Scheme, based on the state’s budgetary needs and needs. He stated that 10 percent reservation has been given to women. Furthermore, interest-free loans are being provided to women’s self-help groups. Women’s contribution to the state’s progress is crucial. New initiatives will be taken to increase this contribution.
Talks going on with the central government
Mahendra Bhatt also informed that the Chief Minister is in discussions with the central government to implement schemes that will strengthen the economic status of women and youth. However, the Congress party is calling this an “election bribe.” Elections in Uttarakhand are expected in early 2027. Government schemes played a significant role in the NDA’s victory in Bihar. The Chief Minister’s Women’s Employment Scheme is particularly considered to have played a significant role in the Nitish Kumar-led NDA’s victory.
BJP schemes for women in other states
Not only this, other BJP-ruled states are also implementing schemes to directly transfer money to women’s accounts. Money is being transferred to women’s accounts under the Ladki Behna Yojana in Madhya Pradesh, the Ladki Bahin Yojana in Maharashtra, and the Lado Laxmi Yojana in Haryana. Delhi also announced a monthly deposit of Rs 2,500 into women’s accounts. The budget for this has also been passed. However, women are still awaiting the money.
