The government of Jharkhand, led by Chief Minister Hemant Soren, has unveiled a significant welfare initiative aimed at empowering women in the state. The Mukhyamantri Maiyaan Samman Yojana, set to be officially launched on August 16, 2024, represents a major step towards providing financial assistance to eligible women across Jharkhand.
