Delhi, December 24: Ahead of the Delhi Legislative Assembly elections, the registration for the Chief Minister’s Women’s Empowerment Scheme started on December 23. AAP Supremo Arvind Kejriwal assisted women from the Kidwai Nagar area in registering for the scheme on Monday. He helped them generate the necessary OTP (One-Time Password) and provided them with their registration cards.
During the event, Delhi’s Chief Minister Atishi was also present. Kejriwal had mentioned a day earlier, “Women don’t need to go anywhere, our volunteers will visit your homes to complete the registration process.” The Delhi government had announced the “Chief Minister’s Women’s Empowerment Scheme” in the 2024-25 budget, offering ₹1,000 per month to every woman aged 18 or above.
However, Kejriwal recently stated that if his party returns to power after the February Legislative Assembly elections, the amount would be increased to ₹2,100 under this scheme.
