The Mahtari Vandan Yojna by the Chhattisgarh government is fulfilling the dreams of many women, opening doors to a brighter future for them and their families while also promoting savings. Through this scheme, numerous women are able to realize long-held aspirations thanks to the monthly financial support they receive. For women who were previously constrained by financial hardships, the Mahtari Vandan Yojna has proven to be a significant support. Like many women across the state, Vandana Rathia from Korba has also seen her heartfelt desire come true.
Life changed through Mahtari Vandan Yojana
Vandana Rathia, from Korba’s Korcoma village, had long harbored the wish of putting a small gold locket around her son’s neck since his birth. However, due to the family’s financial struggles, she was unable to fulfill this wish. Although she had saved some money, it was insufficient to buy the locket. The launch of the Maatri Vandan Scheme in March of this year was like a stroke of luck for Vandana. Since the scheme’s inception, she has been receiving ₹1,000 every month. Over the past six months, Vandana accumulated enough savings to finally make her dream a reality. She went to the village’s weekly market and had a gold locket made for her son. It was a moment of fulfillment for her four-year-old dream, and the joy and satisfaction on her face were evident.
Positive Takeaway
Vandana Rathia states that the monthly amount from the Mahtari Vandan Yojna is highly valuable to her. For women like her, ₹1,000 is a significant sum. The family’s expenses are primarily covered by her husband’s earnings, and the money from the scheme helps with small, essential needs. Vandana makes an effort to save a little from the monthly amount, hoping that gradually, she will be able to accumulate enough to fulfill other dreams in the future.
