Doorstep registration for women, elderly welfare schemes to start today: Kejriwal

'MUKHYAMANTRI MAHILA SAMMAN YOJANA' AND 'SANJEEVANI YOJANA'

NEW DELHI: In a move aimed at improving the welfare of women and senior citizens in Delhi, former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced that the registration process for two major schemes, the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana' and the 'Sanjeevani Yojana', will begin on Monday.

Under these initiatives, every woman in Delhi will receive Rs 2,100 per month, and senior citizens above 60 will be entitled to free medical treatment at both private and government hospitals. These transformative schemes are designed to directly benefit the citizens and ease their financial burdens.

Addressing the press alongside senior party leaders Manish Sisodia and CM Atishi, Kejriwal shared his excitement about these initiatives.

"We have come with very big and happy news. Recently, we announced two schemes. One of them was the 'Mahila Samman Yojana'. We know how hard our mothers and sisters work. They manage the household, working from as early as 4 in the morning till 10 or 11 at night. They nurture the children, who are the future of the country, instilling good values while raising them," Kejriwal said. He emphasised that the Rs 2,100 per month would make a significant difference in the lives of women, helping them manage household expenses, continue their studies, and pursue higher education without the financial strain that often limits opportunities.
