BJP's 'Annapurna Bhandar' Scheme: Empowering Women of Bengal

West Bengal's Minister Agnimitra Paul announced the launch of the 'Annapurna Bhandar' scheme designed to empower women through financial aid. She emphasized the digital accessibility of the application process via an online portal, ensuring that even women with limited education could easily apply.

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari reaffirmed the BJP's commitment to women's welfare, emphasizing that the scheme would grant eligible women a monthly financial sum while guaranteeing free travel on state-run buses. This initiative is part of a broader election promise, reflecting the party's dedication to female empowerment.

Adhikari assured that existing social welfare programs would remain intact under the BJP-led administration. Additionally, central government schemes such as Ayushman Bharat and Beti Bachao Beti Padhao are also being implemented to enhance the social welfare landscape of the state.
