In case of SC women SC certificate is also required.\u201d Addressing concerns of women lacking caste certificates, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann added, \u201cI know many of my SC sisters and mothers don\u2019t have a certificate but they don\u2019t have to worry and just apply for their certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further assured uninterrupted benefits, stating, \u201cIf that is taking time then don\u2019t have to worry as they too can register under the scheme without the certificate and start getting \u20b91000 monthly. However, whenever their certificate comes, the state government will pay them a difference of \u20b9500 per month as well from July onwards. There is no need to worry on this front.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To ensure last-mile coverage, the Chief Minister announced a grassroots outreach mechanism. \u201cTo ensure 100% coverage of all women above 18 years and to handhold them through the registration process, the Punjab government will engage Mahila Satkar Sakhis in every village and every ward across Punjab,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining their role, he added, \u201cMahila Satkar Sakhis will come to the home of beneficiaries and explain to them benefits of the Scheme, clarify their all doubts, and handover the registration form. They will explain the entire registration process to the beneficiaries along with what documents are needed and solve all their queries and problems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further noted, \u201cIf the beneficiary is missing any document like voter ID or bank account, these Sakhis will help them in getting that made too. Mahila Satkar Sakhi will guide them at every step.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On ease of access, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cOnce they have filled in their registration form and have all your documents ready, they can visit their nearest registration centre and submit it there.\u201d He added that the government has ensured extensive infrastructure, stating, \u201cTo ensure that women face no hassle in traveling for registrations, the Punjab government will be allowing registration at more than 26,000 locations including all Anganwadi Centres, all Sewa Kendras and all Municipal Corporation\/Committee offices in urban areas.\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Outlining the benefits, he said, \u201cThe scheme will ensure a cash benefit of \u20b91000 per month to the women from other category and \u20b91500 per month to women from Scheduled Castes (SCs).\u201d Emphasising its impact, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, \u201cThis scheme will have a monumental effect on the upliftment of women by making them independent and empowering them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the broader socio-economic vision, he said, \u201cIt will give them choice and clubbed with financial literacy, it will promote savings, thrift and investment and will enable dignity in fulfilling their small desires.\u201d He acknowledged existing gaps, adding, \u201cPunjab has already made considerable progress in social welfare and human development indicators; however, a large number of women across the state, particularly those belonging to economically vulnerable households, continue to lack independent financial security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stressing the importance of economic autonomy, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, \u201cStrengthening women\u2019s financial autonomy is essential for improving household welfare, promoting gender equity, and enhancing women\u2019s participation in social and economic decision-making.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He further underlined the scale of the initiative, saying, \u201cThis scheme adopts a near-universal eligibility framework, covering all women aged 18 years and above, subject only to limited exclusion criteria. The scheme is therefore expected to benefit more than 97% of the women, making it one of the most comprehensive women-centric social protection initiatives in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Calling it a transformative intervention, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, \u201cThe scheme represents a landmark step towards ensuring direct economic support to women across the state and reflects the Government\u2019s vision that women\u2019s empowerment must translate into tangible financial independence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clarifying eligibility, he added, \u201cEvery woman aged 18 years or above and registered as a voter in the state and possessing a valid Aadhar Card reflecting Punjab residency and having a valid Voter ID of Punjab issued by the Election Commission of India shall be eligible to be enrolled as a beneficiary under the Scheme.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On financial commitment, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, \u201cA sum of \u20b99300 crore has already been sanctioned in the Budget for Financial Year 2026-27 and given the scale and outreach of the scheme, it is expected to become one of the largest women-centric social welfare initiatives undertaken by the Government of Punjab.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating the inspiration behind the initiative, he concluded, \u201cThis is a humble tribute to Baba Sahib BR Ambedkar who was an ardent votary of upliftment of women by empowering them and making them an active partner in the socio-economic development of women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the occasion, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann handed over registration certificates to three beneficiaries including Harbhans Kaur, Diksha and Simran. The beneficiaries welcomed the initiative and expressed that it would significantly strengthen their financial independence. \u201cThis path breaking initiative will go a long way in our development and for the first time any state government and the Chief Minister had thought about us,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p>Among those present were Cabinet Ministers Aman Arora, Harpal Singh Cheema, Dr. Baljeet Kaur, Harbhajan Singh ETO and Mohinder Bhagat, senior AAP leader Manish Sisodia, Lok Sabha MP Dr. Rajkumar Chabbewal, Chairman Punjab State Cooperative Agriculture Development Bank Pawan Kumar Tinu and others.<\/p>\n<p>*Near-Universal Women Empowerment Scheme Rolled Out with \u20b91000\u2013\u20b91500 Monthly Support, Doorstep Registration Across 26,000 Centres*<\/p>\n<p>The Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna, launched on April 14, 2026 on the birth anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar, is a major women-centric welfare initiative of the Punjab Government aimed at ensuring financial independence for women.
