Ahmedabad: AAP Gujarat President Isudan Gadhvi has urged the Gujarat government to introduce the Mahila Samman Rashi Gujarat scheme, arguing that women in the state should receive the same financial support that is being provided in other states.
Speaking on the issue, Gadhvi questioned why women in Gujarat are being deprived of a welfare scheme that has been implemented elsewhere and said that financial assistance could play a significant role in improving the lives of women, especially in tribal and rural areas.
Mahila Samman Rashi Gujarat Raised as Key Demand
Highlighting the need for direct financial support, Isudan Gadhvi said that the Mahila Samman Rashi Gujarat scheme would help strengthen the economic position of women and provide greater financial security to families.
He pointed out that governments in other states have introduced assistance programs for women and argued that Gujarat should also consider implementing a similar initiative.
According to Gadhvi, women contribute significantly to household and community development and deserve dedicated support from the government.
Tribal Women Could Benefit From Mahila Samman Rashi Gujarat
Gadhvi stated that the Mahila Samman Rashi Gujarat scheme could be particularly beneficial for women in tribal regions. He argued that direct financial assistance would help families manage daily expenses and could reduce migration from tribal areas in search of employment opportunities.

Focus on Women’s Empowerment
