Significance for Women

  • This scheme aims to help millions of women in the national capital, particularly those who come from marginalised backgrounds
  • By offering financial assistance for personal and professional development, the programme aims to bolster women's socio-economic independence
  • It extends financial support to women who have historically faced barriers, thus paving the way for a more inclusive society where women can thrive independently
  • With this initiative, women are empowered to break free from the shackles of financial dependence, enabling them to pursue their aspirations
  • It heralds a new dawn of progress for women in the city, bringing us closer to a reality where gender equality isn't just an aspiration but a lived experience for all
