Solution

To qualify for the Sthree Suraksha pension scheme, women must be within the age group of 35 to 60 years and belong to economically weaker families. Another important eligibility condition is that applicants should not already be receiving any other social welfare pension from the government. The scheme also includes transwomen, reflecting the inclusive nature of Kerala’s welfare policies. By targeting women in this specific age group who lack stable income sources, the scheme aims to strengthen social protection mechanisms for vulnerable populations.
