According to the welfare scheme launched by the Government of Kerala, what is the monthly pension amount provided under the ‘Sthree Suraksha’ scheme for eligible beneficiaries?

Solution

The Government of Kerala launched the ‘Sthree Suraksha’ scheme to provide financial assistance to unemployed women and transwomen belonging to economically weaker sections. Under this scheme, beneficiaries receive a monthly pension of ₹1,000. The financial assistance is transferred directly to beneficiaries’ bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) mechanism, ensuring transparency and efficiency in fund distribution. The scheme forms part of Kerala’s broader welfare initiatives aimed at strengthening social security and financial inclusion for women who lack stable income sources.
