Mahtari Vandana Yojana: Women should apply immediately to get ₹ 1000 per month

Introduction to Mahtari Vandana Yojana

In our country, women have had equal participation in all social and economic activities and the role of women in the development of the country is not hidden from anyone, but despite this, it has been seen that the participation of women in family decisions has always been comparatively less and negligence has also been shown in the health, maintenance and security of women.

This is the reason why according to the National Family Health Survey-5 (2020-21), the level of anemia in women aged 15 to 49 years has been found to be 60.8%, while this level has been found to be 51.5% in pregnant women. According to another data, according to the National Family Health Survey-5 (2020-21), 23.01% of women have been found to be below their standard body mass index.
