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.
The announcement of this scheme comes at a crucial time in Jharkhand’s political calendar.

The rebranding and enhancement of this scheme demonstrate the government’s renewed focus on women’s welfare in the state.
