What’s Next? Door-to-Door Survey to Find Eligible Beneficiaries
The Odisha government is starting a detailed survey to make sure that all eligible people who were left out get included in the Subhadra Yojana. As part of this, officials will visit homes to identify those who qualify but haven’t received the benefits yet. This step aims to ensure that no deserving person misses out on the scheme’s support.
According to sources, beneficiaries who are found eligible through the survey will receive all three pending installments together on Raksha Bandhan (Rakhi Purnima). This ensures that those who were left out get their full benefits at once.
