- Despite funding and earlier cabinet approval, the ₹2,500-per-month Mahila Samriddhi scheme has not launched because eligibility rules and the online application system are not final.
- Education receives ₹19,326 crore with free bicycles for about 1.3 lakh girls in Classes 9 and above and laptops for high-scoring Class 10 students, along with funds for smart classrooms and new school buildings.
- Women’s safety funding includes ₹225 crore to maintain CCTV networks and add 50,000 cameras, plus ₹50 crore to replace Public Works Department road lights with smart LEDs to reduce dark spots.
- New schemes target livelihoods and savings, including DURGA e‑auto permits for 1,000 women and 100 transgender persons and the Delhi Lakhpati Betiya Yojana with ₹128 crore to build a girl’s savings over time.
