Deputy Chief Minister Parida revealed the rollout schedule while addressing a government programme in Kakatpur. She emphasized that the initiative is not only a welfare measure but also a tool for stimulating the rural economy.


According to the state leadership, financial support under the scheme helps women invest in livelihoods, manage household expenses, and gain greater control over personal finances.

Growing Reach of the Subhadra Yojana Scheme

The Subhadra Yojana has steadily expanded since its launch by the Odisha Government, with each installment covering a larger number of beneficiaries.

So far, the scheme has delivered assistance on a massive scale:

  • First installment supported over 90 lakh women
  • Second installment reached around 95 lakh women
  • Third installment crossed the one-crore beneficiary mark

The fourth installment is expected to consolidate these gains and further stabilize women-led households.

Strengthening Women’s Financial Independence in Odisha

With the Subhadra Yojana fourth installment, the government aims to deepen women’s participation in the state’s economic progress. Policymakers believe consistent financial assistance builds resilience, reduces dependency, and encourages long-term economic planning among beneficiaries.

As Odisha prepares for the March 8 transfer, the scheme stands out as one of the state’s most impactful social welfare initiatives, aligning economic policy with women-centric development goals.
