One of the Odisha government's primary programs for women's welfare, the Subhadra Yojana, was opened for new applications on Saturday.
With the application procedure now open on the specialised Subhadra portal, the program seeks to offer financial aid to women throughout the state.
Although their enrolment will not be confirmed until they turn 21, women who have already turned 20 or 21 may also start the application procedure.
All eligible women in Odisha can apply online, with the exception of districts where the Model Code of Conduct is currently in force.
Who Is Not Qualified
To guarantee that the benefits reach those who actually need them, the government has put in place stringent exclusionary standards.

The Subhadra Yojana will not be available to female students who currently receive Rs 18,000 or more annually from state or federal government programs in the form of scholarships or other aid.
This restriction was implemented to prevent financial aid from being duplicated and to guarantee that monies are distributed fairly. To find overlapping beneficiaries, the Women and Child Development Department (WCD) has already started a thorough verification process.
The WCD Department has requested thorough information from the Department of SC, ST, and Minorities as well as the Higher Education Department in order to complete this verification. With the exception of arrears payments, these records will assist in identifying women aged 21 and older who got Rs 18,000 or more in a single fiscal year, specifically during 2023–2024 and 2024–2025.

As per the government's revised guidelines, any student who fits into this group will not be eligible for the Subhadra Assistance Program.
How to Use It
To complete the online application and upload the necessary files, qualified candidates can go to the Subhadra Yojana website. Since each application will be cross-checked before being approved, authorities have recommended applicants to make sure their information is accurate.
The state government anticipates that women in all areas will be able to enrol more quickly, easily, and transparently thanks to the digital application procedure.
