Goals of the Orunodoi Scheme
The primary aim of the Orunodoi initiative is to provide essential financial relief to impoverished families, improving their quality of life. The program focuses on poverty alleviation and socio-economic integration through consistent monthly cash transfers. Key objectives include:
- Promoting the financial independence of women.
- Assisting families in moving above the poverty line, aligning with sustainable development goals.
The scheme ensures a steady monthly income for underprivileged families and seeks to streamline welfare delivery by consolidating various programs under a single DBT platform.
