State to give priority to widow remarriage under MBKY
Odisha's Mukhya Mantri Kanya Bibaha Yojana (MKBY) now prioritizes widow remarriage, offering Rs 51,000 in financial assistance to economically disadvantaged families. The scheme aims to promote social security and gender equity, encouraging widow remarriage and reducing financial vulnerability. Activists believe this government promotion will help eradicate the social stigma associated with widows remarrying.
