Gruha Lakshmi, the State government’s ambitious scheme of cash incentives to poor women, has seen over 86 lakh registrations.
As of Monday evening, 86,59,467 women have applied for the scheme. In the earlier days, registration was around four-five lakh per day. Now, it has slowed down to around three-four lakh per day, officials say.
The reason, other than technical glitches and power cuts, is the mandate to get the application uploaded either by government agencies like gram panchayats or municipal corporations or by government approved agents.
