In a significant announcement during today’s budget, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta revealed the allocation of Rs 5,100 crore for the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana. This initiative is aimed at providing financial assistance to women from economically weaker sections (EWS). The scheme offers a monthly stipend of Rs 2,500, with the goal of promoting financial independence among beneficiaries. What’s more, the funds will be directly transferred to eligible women through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), ensuring that the money reaches the right hands, without any middlemen. A step closer to empowering women, one transfer at a time!
50,000 Cameras Will Be Installed
In today’s budget session, CM Rekha Gupta announced the installation of more than 50,000 cameras across the capital. Although there are already many cameras around the city, there are areas that turn dark at night with low visibility. These streets will now be covered by cameras, ensuring the safety of women walking there. This move will also help record important incidents when necessary.
Cards To Women For Free-bus Rides Instead Of Pink Tickets
In today’s budget session, CM Rekha Gupta also gave a gift to the women of Delhi. She announced that the Delhi government will issue cards to women for free bus rides, replacing the current pink tickets, to curb corruption. This move aims to make public transport more accessible and transparent for women, ensuring a smoother and hassle-free travel experience. The initiative is seen as a step towards improving safety and convenience for women while promoting gender equality in public services. CM Gupta’s announcement has been welcomed by many as a positive change for women in the capital.
