Odisha CM Mohan Charan Majhi inaugurates new building at Koraput hospital

CM Majhi opens 650-bed Koraput hospital while highlighting Subhadra Yojana benefits for 1 crore Odisha women.

"The Subhadra scheme instalments are empowering women step by step – Pravati Parida, Odisha Deputy CM"

Koraput, August 10

Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi inaugurated the new building of Koraput Shaheed Laxman Nayak Medical College and Hospital on Sunday.

On the occasion, CM Mohan Charan Majhi said, "Yesterday, we released the third installment of the Subhadra scheme. Over one crore women have been given money. A campaign was launched to ensure the scheme reaches every woman. Around 2000 women have been connected to the scheme during the campaign. Today, we also inaugurated a new hospital building with over 650 beds."

Odisha Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida said that the Subhadra Yojana, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2024, has brought significant "change" in the lives of women across the state.

She said that women were moving in the right direction, given the financial support they receive under the Subhadra scheme. Over one crore women have digitally registered for the scheme, she added."When we first thought of the Subhadra scheme, we had never thought that so much change could come in the lives of women in such a small amount of money. Today, we are confident that women are moving in the right direction, and the instalment of Subhadra that the government is giving will take one step at a time towards development, and not just the instalment of Subhadra, but the blessings of Subhadra Maa will also help in empowering the women of Odisha," Parida told reporters here.

The Deputy CM was responding to questions regarding the flagship women-centric welfare scheme inaugurated by the Prime Minister in Bhubaneswar in 2024. The Subhadra Yojana is the largest such initiative in Odisha, aimed at improving the financial well-being of over one crore women.

Under the scheme, all eligible female beneficiaries aged between 21 and 60 years will receive financial assistance of Rs 50,000 over five years, from 2024-25 to 2028-29. The amount is distributed in two equal instalments annually and directly credited to Aadhaar-seeded, DBT-linked bank accounts of the beneficiaries.

While the Subhadra scheme sounds good on paper, I hope the government ensures proper implementation. Too often these welfare schemes get stuck in bureaucratic red tape. The money should reach the actual beneficiaries without middlemen taking cuts.

As someone from Odisha, I've seen how women in rural areas struggle financially. The Subhadra Yojana is a game-changer! ₹50,000 over 5 years may seem small to urban folks, but for village women this means real empowerment 💪 Jai Odisha!

Good to see development reaching Koraput district. But I wonder - will there be enough doctors and medical staff to utilize all 650 beds? Infrastructure is important but human resources matter equally. Hope the government has a recruitment plan too.

My aunt in Balasore received her Subhadra Yojana installment last month. She used it to buy a sewing machine and start a small tailoring business. This is exactly how women's empowerment should work - giving them tools to become self-reliant! ❤️

The hospital inauguration and Subhadra scheme are both positive steps. But I hope the government also focuses on creating more job opportunities in Odisha. Welfare schemes are good, but sustainable employment is what will truly transform the state's economy.
