Mata Shabri Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana in Himachal Pardesh
The role of women is glorified in Manu Smriti with the shlok, 'Yatra Naari Astu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devta' implying that Gods reside in places where woman is worshiped.
THE ROLE of women is glorified in Manu Smriti with the shlok, ‘Yatra Naari Astu Pujyante, Ramante Tatra Devta’ implying that Gods reside in places where woman is worshiped. The essence of this stands exemplified in letter and spirit in the State of Himachal Pradesh. The women population here is being given equal regard and rights and the State Government is going an extra mile to empower them. Consequently, the State has taken a lead in the country in Women Empowerment.
The State Government believes that women's empowerment is essential for the overall development of the society. Various welfare schemes have been launched and implemented in the state for the social and economic emancipation of the womenfolk.
With a view to relieve the poor women belonging to below poverty line scheduled caste families from the drudgery of collecting fuel wood, the State Government has formulated a scheme 'Mata Shabri Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana' under which subsidy of 50% or a maximum of Rs 1300 each would be given to women beneficiaries for purchase of a new LPG gas connection and stove. As many as 75 beneficiaries in a particular Assembly segment or a total of 5100 families would be assisted under this scheme ever year in the State.
The selection of beneficiaries under this scheme would be done in the meetings of Gram Sabha/ Nagar Panchayat. In general, this selection would be made every year in the month of April but this year, directives were issued to select beneficiaries in Gram Sabha meeting held this month.
The eligible women can forward their applications to the concerned Tehsil Welfare Officer with documents such as Scheduled Caste certificate and Below Poverty Line certificate.
The distribution of financial assistance and gas connections would be looked after by the designated officers. Under the scheme, the concerned Deputy Commissioners, Resident Commissioner and Tehsil Welfare Officer in Pangi sub division, Additional District Magistrate and Tehsil Welfare Officer in Bharmaur, Additional Deputy Commissioner and Tehsil Welfare Officer in Spiti sub division, sub division Officer (civil) and Tehsil Welfare Officer in Dodra Kawar would be the authority in their jurisdiction.
While giving gas connections, Termination Transfer Vouchers (TTV) would be disbursed to the beneficiaries by the Regional Managers. These TTV would help the beneficiaries in taking the benefit of this facility from their nearest gas agency in furture.
Mata Shabri Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana would meet twin objectives. Besides bringing about a relief to the womenfolk belonging to BPL scheduled caste families, this scheme would also help in checking forest felling, thereby supplementing the endeavour of the State Government in increasing green cover.
