Launching the rath at Mahatma Gandhi Marg here, Majhi said: “The scheme will represent the Odia Asmita (Odia Pride). It will help in realising the dreams of every woman into a reality. More than one crore women will benefit. It will transform the lives of more than a crore women in the state. It will cover all eligible women aged 21 years or above and less than 60 years.”

“The BJP had announced in its election manifesto that it would give 50,000 in
two years but now it has announced 10,000 per year,” a BJD leader said.
