More allowance for women under BSKY
Quantum of Health coverage benefit for women under the Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana (BSKY) has been escalated by 2 lakhs per annum. The enhancement from 5 lakhs to 7 lakhs came into being by chief minister Naveen Patnaik honoring the request of a lady during an interactive session with people on Biju Swasthya Kalyan Yojana. Government initiatives like Mission Shakti, Mamata, Khusi, land rights and 50 per cent reservation in panchayats, free bicycles and hostels for girls are aimed to elevate and empower the status of women in the state.
