Meeting and Briefing

Odisha Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Women and Child Development Pravati Parida met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi, according to reports by Lokmat Times and The New Indian Express. During the meeting, Parida briefed Modi on preparations for the disbursement of the fifth instalment of the SUBHADRA scheme, the state government's flagship women empowerment initiative.

The fifth instalment is scheduled to be released on August 28 from Nayagarh, coinciding with Raksha Bandhan (referred to as Rakhi Purnima in some reports). The instalment will provide Rs 5,000 to each eligible woman through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). Around 1,03,26,162 women beneficiaries have been selected for the payment, involving a total transfer of more than Rs 5,160 crore.

Measures for Seamless Transfer

Parida informed Modi about the steps being taken by the state government to ensure seamless and timely transfer of the assistance to all eligible beneficiaries. Particular attention has been paid to beneficiary verification, e-KYC, Aadhaar-linked bank accounts, and NPCI mapping, as well as strengthening other banking arrangements.

The Deputy Chief Minister also explained how the financial assistance is empowering women economically and the progress of social inclusion in the state. A statement from the state government described the fifth instalment as "another significant milestone in the implementation of SUBHADRA, reinforcing the State Government's efforts towards strengthening women's economic independence."

In a post on the social media platform X, as quoted by The New Indian Express, Parida also mentioned discussing the state's overall development, the 'Subhadra Shakti Vision Sammilani', and various tourism development projects with the Prime Minister.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
