The Punjab government has taken a major step toward women empowerment with the expansion of the Mukhy Mantri Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme camps 2026, aimed at strengthening the financial independence of women across the state. Under this initiative, special camps will be organized in Anganwadi centres starting May 5, 2026, to register and verify eligible beneficiaries.
The Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps are being conducted by the Department of Social Security, Women and Child Development. These camps will focus on ensuring that maximum eligible women are enrolled under the scheme and receive timely financial assistance.
Financial Assistance Under the Scheme
Under the Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps, eligible women in Punjab will receive monthly financial assistance of ₹1000. For women belonging to Scheduled Castes (SC), the assistance amount has been increased to ₹1500 per month.
This financial support is designed to help women become economically self-reliant and improve their standard of living. The scheme particularly targets low-income households and aims to reduce financial dependency among women in rural and urban areas.
Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme: Camps to Be Held Across 40 Assembly Constituencies
As part of the Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps, the second phase of registration will cover 18 districts and 40 assembly constituencies in Punjab. These include Shahkot, Amritsar North, Atam Nagar, Rampura Phul, Ghanaur, Dera Baba Nanak, Chabbewal, Jalandhar North, Sardulgarh, Rajpura, Lehra, Gidderbaha, Maur, Ludhiana North, Gill, Khémkaran, Gurdaspur, Amritsar East, Ajnala, Raja Sansi, Faridkot, Sri Fatehgarh Sahib, Jaito, Zira, Dharmkot, Payal, Amargarh, Budhlada, Balachaur, Nihal Singh Wala, Muktsar, Fazilka, Dasuya, Kartarpur, Phillaur, Nakodar, Jagraon, Fatehgarh Churian, Shutrana, and Banga.
These camps will be conducted at Anganwadi centres to make the registration process accessible and convenient for women in both rural and semi-urban areas.
Registration and Verification Process of Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme
A key objective of the Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps is to streamline the registration process. Women will be able to apply for the scheme, verify their eligibility, and update their existing data during these camps.
Officials will also re-check previously registered beneficiaries to ensure transparency and accuracy in the distribution of benefits. This process is expected to reduce errors and ensure that the financial aid reaches the right beneficiaries.
First Phase Already Underway
The government has already initiated the first phase of the Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps, which began on April 15, 2026. This initial phase covers 8 districts and 9 assembly constituencies, including Malout, Sri Anandpur Sahib, Sunam, Batala, Moga, Patiala Rural, Adampur, Dirba, and Kotkapura.
This phased rollout strategy ensures smooth implementation and allows officials to manage the large-scale registration process efficiently.
Government’s Vision for Women Empowerment after Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme
The Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps reflect the Punjab government’s broader vision of empowering women financially and socially. By providing monthly financial assistance, the scheme aims to improve household income levels and promote economic independence among women.
Officials believe that direct financial support will help women take better control of their personal and family needs, while also encouraging greater participation in local economic activities.
Expanding Coverage Across Punjab
The government has announced that additional assembly constituencies will be included in the coming phases of the Maanwan Dhiyaan Scheme 2026 camps. This phased expansion will ensure that no eligible woman is left out of the scheme.
Authorities are working to ensure transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in the entire process so that benefits reach the maximum number of eligible beneficiaries.
