Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma Launches Orunodoi 3.0 Payments for Over 37 Lakh Women

Guwahati, November 6, 2026: Assam Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma has launched the first disbursement of the Orunodoi 3.0 scheme for the financial year 2026–27, providing monthly financial assistance to more than 37 lakh women beneficiaries across the state. Under the scheme, eligible women receive Rs. 1,250 per month through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). The state-level programme was organised at Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra in Guwahati, alongside programmes at more than 3,500 locations across Assam. The Chief Minister also announced special financial assistance of Rs. 2,500 for beneficiaries in the flood-affected districts of Sivasagar, Charaideo, Golaghat and Jorhat. The government has introduced an Aadhaar-linked payment system under Orunodoi 3.0 to reduce duplication and ensure that financial assistance reaches eligible beneficiaries directly. The scheme is part of the Assam government's social welfare initiatives aimed at supporting women's financial security. Source: Akashvani News
