Odisha Govt Launches Grievance Redressal Module for Subhadra Yojana

Bhubaneswar : Just ahead of the first anniversary of Subhadra Yojana, the Odisha Government on Monday rolled out a grievance redressal module aimed at ensuring inclusion of applicants who were previously left out of the beneficiaries’ list. The new system will allow applicants to submit and resolve grievances digitally.

 2.85 lakh applications under review

Deputy Chief Minister Pravati Parida said, “Earlier, the Subhadra Yojana portal only allowed applicants to register complaints, but there was no mechanism for redressal. The new module will enable us to address grievances effectively, ensuring beneficiaries can avail the scheme’s benefits. We will survey 2.85 lakh applications, and those with pending issues can now lodge complaints through this module.”

One year of digital transformation

Launched just 48 hours before the scheme’s anniversary, the module marks what Parida described as a “360-degree digital transformation” of Subhadra Yojana, integrating scrutiny, grievance redressal, and payment under one platform.
