Ludhiana tops beneficiary list under Punjab's Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojana

The Punjab government's Mawan Dheeyan Satkar Yojana has seen Ludhiana register the highest number of beneficiaries at 7.4 lakh as of July 14, according to state data. Other top-performing districts include Patiala, Amritsar, Jalandhar, and Gurdaspur, while Malerkotla had the lowest enrollment with 1.3 lakh. The ministry attributes the high registrations in major districts to their large populations, strong administrative infrastructure, and increased awareness about welfare programs. Officials noted that these areas have a higher concentration of rural and economically disadvantaged families, along with better documentation processes like Aadhaar enrollment and bank account access, which facilitated smoother registration. Awareness campaigns led by district administrations and collaboration with local bodies and Anganwadi workers played a key role in boosting participation. In contrast, districts with smaller populations saw fewer enrollments due to fewer eligible households.
