Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari on Wednesday has released the form of ‘Annapurna Yojana’ under which women of the state will get Rs. 3000 every month.

The entire administration under the leadership of the Finance secretary and Chief secretary will lead the process. It will start from June 1 and will go up to 90 days. The application forms will be available both online and offline. Government bus rides will also be free for women and later we will make a card for them so that no one can misuse it,” said Adhikari.
