Bhubaneswar(22/01/2025): As many as 157 men had applied to avail the benefits of the Subhadra Yojana of the Odisha government, said Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida on Wednesday.
The Deputy CM said, "A total of 157 men had applied for the scheme.
We have excluded all of them as the scheme is exclusively for women." Spellings of some names of men are similar to that of women.
They might have applied mistakenly.
Their applications have been rejected", Parida said.
She had yesterday urged Odisha women residing outside the state to apply soon for the scheme.
