Mahtari Vandan Yojana Helps Woman Strengthen Family Income and Support Children’s Education

Raipur, Oct 5 (UNI) In the remote forest village of Bamhani in Pendra development block of Gaurela-Pendra-Marwahi district, a small vegetable garden has become a symbol of a much bigger change in Ishwari Markar’s life. For the 40-year-old, the ₹1,000 received every month under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana has provided not just financial support, but the confidence to build a modest source of income through her own efforts.
Using a part of the assistance received under the scheme, implemented under the Chhattisgarh government, Ishwari developed a vegetable garden on the land behind her home. The garden now supplies fresh vegetables for her family while the surplus is sold in the local market, helping her earn additional income.
There was a time when even small household requirements meant borrowing money. On some occasions, she could not arrange funds even when the need was urgent. Managing household expenses and meeting the educational needs of her children on a limited income was a persistent challenge.
