Overview
- The Women Welfare Department has begun a verified, district-wise data collection exercise to build a beneficiary list, officials said Tuesday.
- State authorities are drafting a government order and administrative guidelines that will define who qualifies and how the scheme will be run; final allotments depend on completed verification.
- Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed officials to prioritize pucca houses under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana or Mukhyamantri Awas Yojana and to enroll families in Ayushman Bharat or Mukhyamantri Jan Arogya Yojana.
- Officials said the effort will also cover destitute women and include steps to overcome awareness and paperwork barriers so eligible women can access housing and medical care.
- The move follows the 2017 Supreme Court ruling and the 2019 law banning instant triple talaq and may carry electoral weight given the BJP’s long focus on the issue ahead of the 2027 state vote.
