Dhuri (Sangrur), July 1, 2026: The wait of lakhs of women across Punjab finally came to an end on Wednesday as the CM Bhagwant Singh Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government rolled out the Mukh Mantri Maavan Dheeyan Satkar Yojna, fulfilling its final election guarantee made ahead of the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections. Launching the scheme through a dedicated web portal in Dhuri, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann announced the direct transfer of three months’ Satkar Raashi into the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries, with every woman receiving ₹3,000 and women from the Scheduled Caste category receiving ₹4,500. The payments began reaching beneficiaries during the event itself, with women receiving SMS confirmations on their mobile phones.
Addressing the gathering after launching the scheme, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann, amid a huge round of applause, described the day as historic and said the state government had rolled out this landmark initiative under which more than 40 lakh women have already been registered. “The Satkar Raashi has started from July and it will pave the way for women empowerment. This is an ambitious scheme and we have launched it with complete planning to ensure that it continues permanently,” he said.
