Women officers to review UP schemes for women

Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has appointed women nodal officers, who will visit the various districts and review the schemes launched by the state government for the welfare of women.
The Chief Minister, at a meeting held here late on Tuesday evening, said that three-member teams of women officers would visit their allocated districts on October 18, 19 and 20. They will make women aware about the schemes and also collect feedback.
The officers will submit a detailed report to the state government on various schemes before October 25, when the ‘Kanya Sumangala Yojana’ is scheduled to be launched in the state.
“All officers should inform women across the state about this new scheme and make them aware of its benefits. They will also inform the women about other schemes launched by the government as well,” he stated.
The Chief Minister also reviewed the schemes launched by various departments regarding the development of women. He said women were unaware of several schemes launched for their welfare and progress.
Emphasising that it was necessary to make people aware of the government schemes and programmes, Yogi said seminars should be organised to enlighten women about the Ujjwala scheme as well as the new law against ‘triple talaq’.
