The West Bengal government has approved the rollout of the Annapurna Yojana, under which women in the state will receive a monthly financial assistance of ₹3,000.
The move marks a significant increase from the existing Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, under which beneficiaries currently receive ₹1,500 per month, while SC/ST women get ₹1,700. Further details regarding the implementation of the scheme are awaited.
