Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced that ₹1,291 crore will be credited to the bank accounts of 37.43 lakh women across the state as part of a new financial inclusion drive.
At a large rally in Punjab, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann unveiled a new scheme that will credit ₹1,291 crore to the bank accounts of 37.43 lakh women in the state. The announcement was made during a public address where the CM highlighted the government's commitment to financial inclusion.
Mann said the funds will be transferred directly to the accounts of eligible women, ensuring that the money reaches the intended beneficiaries without delay. The initiative is part of the state's broader effort to empower women and boost their economic participation.
He also criticized previous administrations for frequently lamenting Punjab’s dwindling treasury, contrasting their approach with his government's focus on development projects without citing lack of funds as an excuse.
The scheme is expected to provide immediate financial relief to millions of women, while the state government plans to monitor the disbursement process to ensure transparency and accountability.
