Paper I · 15 Policies of Telangana State · 15.3 Welfare of women and social groups

15.3.1 Women and children: Indira Mahila Shakti, self-help groups, Kalyana Lakshmi, nutrition and safety schemes

Telangana's support for women rests on three pillars: money in women's hands through self-help groups (SERP, MEPMA, Stree Nidhi and, since 2025, Indira Mahila Shakti), cash help at life events (Kalyana Lakshmi / Shaadi Mubarak), and services for mothers and children (Anganwadis, nutrition, safety centres); figures below are dated because schemes change fast.
