The registration process for the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana has officially begun in Delhi starting Monday, December 23, 2024. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced these two key welfare schemes recently, offering significant benefits to women and senior citizens in the city.
Registration Process: The registration for both these schemes began on December 23. AAP workers will be going door-to-door to assist people with the registration process and will provide cards for beneficiaries, allowing them to avail the benefits.
Eligibility for Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana: Any woman in Delhi can benefit from this scheme, and they will receive ₹2100 every month directly in their bank accounts.
Eligibility for Sanjeevani Yojana: All senior citizens aged 60 and above are eligible to receive free medical treatment under this scheme. The benefit extends to both government and private hospitals in the city.
Voter ID Requirement: Both women and senior citizens must be residents of Delhi to avail of these benefits. It is mandatory to have a voter ID card. Kejriwal urged citizens to ensure their voter IDs are updated and ready for registration.
No Income Criteria: There are no income limits for either scheme. All eligible women and senior citizens will receive the benefits, regardless of their income levels.
Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, AAP is focusing heavily on micro-management of electoral campaigns, with specific strategies crafted for every locality, class, and constituency in Delhi. The party’s aim is to connect with every citizen and ensure that they understand and benefit from these schemes.
The BJP has raised concerns over these schemes, calling them election gimmicks. BJP leaders have pointed out that similar announcements made by AAP in the past, such as in Punjab, did not materialize as promised. They questioned whether these announcements would hold any real value or if they were just designed for electoral gains.
Conclusion: The Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana are significant welfare initiatives for women and senior citizens in Delhi. With the registration process now open, eligible individuals should make sure to register and avail of the benefits provided under these schemes. While the opposition raises questions about their credibility, these schemes mark a key point in AAP's electoral strategy for the upcoming elections.
