Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has directed for implementation of the Union Women & Child Development Ministry’s integrated women’s empowerment programme ‘Mission Shakti’ in Odisha.
The programme includes One Stop Centre, Women’s Helpline, Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, Hub for Women Empowerment, Sakhi Niwas, Shakti Sadan, Children’s Home and Pradhan Mantri Matrubandana.
The ‘Mission Shakti’ scheme aims to improve the safety, security and empowerment of women and implementation of the scheme in Odisha will lead to better coordination between the state government and the central government.
