Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Scheme

Under the Kalaignar Magalir Urimai Scheme, the TN Government provides financial assistance of Rs.1,000 every month to the women residents of Tamil Nadu. The TN Government identified around 1.06 crore women beneficiaries under the scheme. The TN Government received 1.63 crore applications for the scheme, and 1.06 crore women were shortlisted as beneficiaries after verification based on the eligibility criteria. 

The TN Government released the funds of Rs.1,000 to the eligible beneficiaries, and the financial amount was deposited in their bank accounts through a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) for September.
