Section outline

  • Overview of Central & State Schemes 🇮🇳📋

    India has a wide range of welfare and financial empowerment programs for women — but very few know what’s available or how to access them. Many women miss out on benefits just because they didn’t know they could apply.

    • 🔹 Types of Support You Can Get

      Government schemes cover different needs. Here’s what’s commonly offered:

      • 💰 Small Savings Schemes: Like Mahila Samman or Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana
      • 🏥 Health & Maternity Support: Free checkups, hospital costs, and insurance
      • 🏡 Housing & Pensions: Support for widows, elderly, and low-income women
      • 📈 Loans & Business Grants: MUDRA, Stand-Up India, and other credit programs
      • 📄 Direct Benefit Transfers (DBT): Money directly into your bank account

      These schemes are often offered by:

      • 🌐 Central Government: Across India (e.g., PM Jan Dhan, MUDRA)
      • 🏛️ State Governments: Specific to where you live (e.g., Kanyashree in West Bengal)

    • 🔹Why Many Women Miss Out

      Despite so many schemes, a large number of women do not benefit because:

      • 🧾 Paperwork and documentation seem confusing
      • 📱 Online forms and portals feel overwhelming
      • 🗣️ Lack of awareness or local guidance

      💡 This course solves all of that — each upcoming section will explain one important scheme, how to benefit from it, and how to apply easily. No more confusion, just clarity.
