Bhubaneswar, Mar 19 (PTI) More than one lakh women have not received the second instalment of financial assistance under the Odisha government's 'Subhadra Yojana' due to surrender of their ration cards and other reasons, Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida said on Wednesday.
The state government has covered over onecrore beneficiaries under the women-centric scheme and distributed the first instalment of Rs5,000 in five phases.
Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi had released the second instalment on International Women's Day on March 8 this year.
"More than one lakh women, who received the first instalment, could not receive the second one. We are concerned about them. They did not get benefits because many of them have surrendered their ration cards in between the release of first and second instalments as their income has increased," she said.
