Mahila Samriddhi Yojana: Rs 5,110 Crore Allocated, But Scheme Yet To Roll Out

• Despite a Rs 5,110 crore allocation in the Delhi Budget for 2025–26 and 2026-27, the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana remains unlaunched.
• Approved by the Delhi Cabinet on March 8, 2025, the scheme, a key BJP poll promise, has not yet identified beneficiaries.
• No eligibility criteria finalized, no portal operational, and the committee formed met only four times since March 2025.
• Women in Delhi were promised Rs 2,500 monthly assistance under the scheme, which could cover over 17 lakh women annually.
• Officials assure implementation soon, citing ongoing work on eligibility and online registration, despite delays.
