The Manipur government announced a scheme that will provide a one‑time cash grant of Rs 10,000 to 350,000 women across the state.
Manipur’s state administration has unveiled a new women‑empowerment initiative that will allocate a one‑time cash assistance of Rs 10,000 to 3.5 lakh eligible women. The scheme is intended to bolster financial independence and support livelihood activities among women from low‑income households.
Under the programme, the grant will be transferred directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts after verification of eligibility criteria set by the state authorities. Officials said the disbursement will be carried out in phases to ensure smooth processing and to reach the targeted population efficiently.
The funding for the scheme comes from the state’s budget allocation for women’s welfare. The government has urged eligible women to register through designated local offices or online portals to claim the benefit.
Implementation will be overseen by the Women’s Development Department, which will also monitor the impact of the grants on household income and community development. The scheme reflects Manipur’s broader commitment to gender‑focused development policies.
