Annapurna Yojana Payments Awaited, Verification Continues
West Bengal has a new program called Annapurna Yojana that gives poor women ₹3,000 every month.

Many women have applied but their money hasn’t come yet.
The state chief minister, Suvendu Adhikari, said the money will be paid by August 30.
He also told local lawmakers to make new lists of who should get the money and to check in person.
A group from the BJP will visit villages in August to help people who are still waiting and to explain how the program works.
