Delhi government has approved a monthly cash assistance scheme for women in the capital, clearing one of the BJP's most prominent promises from last year's assembly election campaign.
Delhi cabinet on Tuesday gave its nod to the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana, under which eligible women will receive Rs 2,500 per month. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said the online registration portal will go live on August 1, with the government targeting August 28, Raksha Bandhan, for the release of the first instalment.
