This scheme aimed at providing financial and non-financial benefits of governmental schemes directly to women recipients in a transparent way. This scheme showcases the government’s vision to empower every woman. Envisaged in the year 2008, the Bhamashah Scheme was thought of even before Aadhaar programme. Bhamashah is the first of its kind direct benefit transfer scheme in the country. Hence, it will lead to empowered society and empowered state.
