As women we need the space to become the heroine of our lives and not the victims of the male prejudiced scenarios. Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Vasundhara Raje with her schemes for women is imbibing this exact idea to compliment the women population she is gifted with in her state. Being a confident and independent woman herself, with her individualistic streak to monitor country’s largest state, CM Raje understands that if the women of Rajasthan will be awarded a kick start in forming self-sufficient spaces for themselves by the State government, that day will not be far when each one of them will become complete versions of’ Vasundhara Rajes’ and will lead their lives being role models for other Indian women.
Empowerment of women requires just one condition; the woman should want to be empowered. Without having realizing the fact you belong to the other half of the entire world and deserve all that your better half does, any effort towards your betterment would go in vain. CM Raje during all her district tours and visits has been determinedly trying to put forward the right each women warrants, and before launching any scheme for her State’s women, she ensures that the respective receiving end of all the schemes comprehends the sheer importance of the help being offered to them. After all CM Raje can only give wings to womanhood of her state, but they themselves have to fly with them.
With playing the part of a role model, CM Raje during her current tenure as head of Rajasthan, launched a number of women based schemes, where each exists with a new and improved benefit providence caliber in both its planning and execution phases.
APNI BETI
We know that adoption is the next best substitute of the natural process of giving birth. With her APNI BETI YOJANA, CM Raje directed the legislators, magistrates, collectors and people with reputed jobs to adopt two daughters each and give them the life of un-compromised sustenance. With God providing us lives with slight unbalanced parameters as some have everything and some struggle with nothing, CM Raje with APNI BETI YOJANA has taken steps to balance the unevenness. One would say why adopt only daughters then? A well raised daughter is worth a few unspoiled sons, because independent and educated daughters in future will breed wonderful children and families.
BHAMASHAH
Taking its name from Maharana Pratap’s financier, Bhamashah Scheme works to install the required mode of financial independence in the women of Rajasathan. CM Raje goes with the concept that, financial strength when given to a woman of the house has the spark to make great difference, especially for their own up-liftment. Through this scheme female heads of the families are given the authority to avail all the monetary aids State government is providing for them and their families. Making women accountable for their homely accounts through well implemented Bhamashah Cards and literacy programmes to learn their usage, this scheme is highly transparent in its operations related to both cash and non-cash transactions. Wastage reducing is another factor undertaken by Bhamashah Scheme with effective monitoring making sure that the benefits are being reached to the needy recipients with minimum of futile transactions.
BETI BACHAO, BETI PADHAO
PM Modi’s BETI BACHAO, BETI PADHAO scheme attained excellent vibrancy in the state of Rajasthan. With CM Raje leading the way, Rajasthan and its people helped their leader to change age old practices of female feticide and child marriage. After all, Rajasthan didn’t become number one state under BBBP Scheme for nothing. Scratching off its image from the year 2011, where Rajasthan was known as an under-developed state with respect to female empowerment, took prominent efforts from the State Government and now there are numberless examples to prove its victory against those old taboos. Fetching the perfect level of sex ratios was the targeted agenda of CM Raje and her teams. To achieve this, methods of monetary and non monetary tip offs are being used. Every daughter saved and educated can be branded as the best investment a parent can do in his life. Rajasthan people have started to understand this basic point and the leveled prescription of monetary incentivisation is giving it the push it requires.

MUKHBIR
This is one unique scheme which works to cut off the anti-female stems from their root itself. Mukhbir Yojana launched by CM Raje has the responsibility to reward reliable reporters who inform the government about medical professionals involved in sex determinations and selection via technological uses. Decoying of such ill-legal practices with the help of fellow citizens and awarding them confirmed prize of Rs 2,00,000 is what Mukhbir Yojana is doing to save females being not given the opportunity to be born and lead individually wholesome lives. CM Raje through this scheme made an effort to unite citizens of Rajasthan for the betterment of the state. This particular feature of Mukhbir Yojana makes it different from other schemes, as it inculcates a team of not government officials but general public who want to live in an improved Rajasthan. A Rajasthan devoid of sex determination and selection is one zenith which is not that far away to reach if we go by today’s growth. Monthly, some informative sources come and help the govt. to track illegal use of medical knowledge and technology.
RAJSHRI
Being one of the major flagship schemes launched by CM Raje in this year’s annual budget on thr occasion of International Women’s Day, Mukhyamanti Rajshri Yojana will work to enhance the conditions of girl child. With the help of financial and educative tools, girl children of Rajasthan will be brought up in a better way. Motive is to strike off the stats which say not every girl child in Rajasthan gets access to basic education. Right to education is what its main agenda and to spread its righteousness through efficient awareness is the duty of the team working for this scheme. Girl students, who hail from poor and backward families, fall under the prioritized category of Rajshri Scheme. Numerous scholarship plans have been listed to alleviate possible paths for girl students to get access to education. Education, especially female education can make way for a generation with minds free from all gender biased ideologies. Liberty and equality of females are the two return gifts of Mukhyamanti Rajshri Yojana which works through the Dept. of Women and Child Affairs, Govt. of Rajasthan.
SHUBHLAKSHMI
CM Raje introduced this now extremely popular scheme to work for the welfare of girl babies in Rajasthan. Through encouraging the birth of girl children and reducing their death rates, Shubhlakshmi Yojana strives to attain new Rajasthan. Keeping the safety of girl child at the forefront during all its plans, Subhalakshmi started awarding Rs 2100 to mothers when they give birth to a girl child. The same amount will again be given to mothers on their daughter’s first birthdays and Rs 3100 on the 5th birthday. All in all each mother will receive an amount of 50,000 Rs just as an incentive for allowing to enter the ‘lakshmi’ of their house and making a happy environment for her to raise in.
SELF-HELP GROUPS
To uplift women on the economic front, various Self Gelp Groups have been started way back in1997-98. It is during CM Raje’s reign that all these Self-Help Groups gained an extra edge over all and are moving towards the self-sustained female population, especially in the rural areas. The groups initially started with strength of 10-20 females. Each member then, with her limited amount of savings, is getting motivated towards achieving self-employment and self-sustenance. In all 33 districts, at least 10 Self-Help Groups have been created. Proper monitoring of all these groups is done through open mechanisms of Non-Profit Organizations. The latest update in relation to these Self-Help Groups is how they are entering the business world through strategic planning and marketing.
CM Raje in a way is aware of the fact that women of her state are born strong, the only thing which remains is to make them release it and reflect this strength for the world to perceive. All these above mentioned brings out the same, empowering the women and giving them what they deserve.
