Timely Assistance Helps Smt. Sheela Karma Meet Essential Expenses and Save for Her Newborn’s Future
Sukma,(thestates.news) | Government welfare schemes are reaching Chhattisgarh’s remote areas and making a tangible difference in the lives of families in need. For Smt. Sheela Karma of Sukma, timely financial aid under Pradhan Mantri Matri Vandana Yojana helped her meet essential expenses during pregnancy and set aside savings for her newborn’s future.
A resident of Devi Chowk in Sukma Nagar Palika Parishad, Smt. Karma received ₹5,000 directly into her bank account under the scheme. She used the financial aid to purchase nutritious food, medicines and other essential items, helping her family manage expenses during pregnancy and after the birth of her child.
For Smt. Karma, the support provided more than immediate financial relief. After meeting essential expenses, she saved the remaining amount in her bank account for her newborn’s future. She said the assistance came at a time when her family needed it most and gave her a sense of security during an important phase of her life.
Smt. Karma said that receiving the benefits of the scheme directly in her bank account was particularly helpful and reflected the government’s effort to ensure that welfare assistance reaches families even in remote areas. “The scheme stood by me like a family member during a difficult time,” she said.
Under Pradhan Mantri Matri Vandana Yojana, pregnant and lactating mothers receive financial assistance through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The scheme aims to improve maternal nutrition and partially offset expenses incurred during pregnancy and after childbirth.
