₹9000 credited to 40 lakh Orunodoi scheme beneficiaries ahead of Assembly election in Assam

Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Assam, the state government has disbursed ₹9,000 to 40 lakh beneficiaries of the Orunodoi scheme. Launched in 2020 as a flagship poverty alleviation initiative by the BJP-led government, the scheme provides financial support of ₹1,250 per month to one eligible woman in each family. The recent transfer of funds aims to bolster the scheme's impact and improve the living conditions of low-income households in the state. This financial assistance, seen as a strategic move before the elections, underscores the government's commitment to social welfare, while also serving as a crucial element in its electoral strategy. The Orunodoi scheme has been vital in addressing poverty and empowering women, contributing to the broader agenda of the state government. As the elections approach, the timing of this fund transfer raises questions about its influence on voter sentiment and the political landscape in Assam.
