The government has started a new and wonderful initiative to make the women of the country financially self-reliant, named ‘Bima Sakhi Yojana’. The objective of this scheme is to provide direct financial assistance to those women who are unable to go out and work due to household responsibilities. Under the scheme, eligible women will be given direct assistance of Rs 7000 every month, so that they can better meet the needs of their families.
This scheme is not only for village women but also for economically weak women living in cities. The government believes that only when women become economically independent, the society will become truly strong.
What is the real objective of this scheme?
The main objective of this scheme is to provide a source of earning from home to the poor and middle class women of the country. It is often seen that women are unable to do jobs due to household responsibilities. In such a situation, with the help of Rs 7000 received every month, they will not have to depend on anyone for their children’s education, household expenses and their small and big needs.
This scheme has been specially designed for those women who are associated with Self Help Groups or are currently unemployed. Along with giving money, the government will also provide training to women related to digital banking and money saving, so that they can start some small business of their own in future.
Who can apply and how will they get the benefit?
Some easy conditions have been laid down to avail the benefits of this scheme:
- The woman must be a citizen of India.
- Age should be between 21 to 50 years.

The application process has been kept completely online and simple so that women do not have to visit government offices. You can fill the online form yourself by visiting your nearest CSC center (Public Service Center) or on the official portal of the scheme. Once the verification of your documents is completed, an amount of Rs 7000 will start coming directly into your bank account every month.
Not only money, you will also get insurance protection
The most special thing about this scheme is that along with financial help, you will also get the benefit of insurance. All the beneficiary women will be linked to health insurance, life insurance and other social security schemes, so that they and their families do not have to face financial crisis in any difficult time. This scheme will give women not only money but also confidence and respect.
