The Mahtari Vandan Yojana is proving to be an important initiative towards the economic empowerment of women in Chhattisgarh. The regular monthly financial assistance provided under the scheme is helping women meet household needs, children’s education, medicines, and festival preparations. Receiving the 30th installment of the scheme before Rakshabandhan has further increased the happiness of the women of the state. The stories of Mrs. Vrindavati Sidar of Raigarh and Mrs. Sonam Sahu of Bilaspur exemplify how this amount is becoming not only a source of financial support for women but also a source of self-confidence.
- Rakhi purchased with the 30th installment, a thread of affection will adorn your brother’s wrist.
Mrs. Vrindavati Sidar of Raigarh explains that the monthly amount she receives under the Mahatari Vandan Yojana significantly helps her meet her household’s essential needs. This amount has been a constant source of support for her children’s education, medicines, and other household expenses, both large and small. This time, she purchased Rakhi for her brothers using the 30th installment. She says that the sense of self-reliance and respect she gained from this amount will also be with her when she ties Rakhi on her brother’s wrist on Rakshabandhan.
- A gift from ‘Vishnu Bhaiya’ before Rakshabandhan
For Mrs. Sonam Sahu of Bilaspur, the 30th installment of the Mahatari Vandan Yojana brought a special moment of joy before Rakshabandhan. She said that with the money she received, she would buy a Rakhi for her brother and make other preparations for Rakshabandhan. She said that receiving the money in her account before the festival has doubled her happiness. Expressing her gratitude to Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, she said that receiving financial support before Rakshabandhan is no less than a gift for her sisters.
- Increased confidence in taking decisions when needed
Many women, like Mrs. Vrindavati and Mrs. Sonam, are using the funds they receive from the Mahatari Vandan Yojana to meet their own and their families’ needs. Regular financial assistance is allowing women to reduce their dependence on others for both small and large needs and play a role in family expenditures. This is also strengthening their self-confidence and ability to make financial decisions.
Both women said that the Mahtari Vandan Yojana has become not only a source of financial assistance for them, but also a means of respect, self-reliance, and participation in family responsibilities. They expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai for empowering women financially. The 30th installment, received on the occasion of Rakshabandhan, has made the joy of this festival of brotherly affection even more special.
