Cachar: In a remarkable show of welfare-driven governance, Cachar district on Tuesday joined the statewide ceremonial rollout of Orunodoi 3.0, Assam’s flagship financial aid scheme for women. The launch, held across 1,575 polling stations, began at 10:30 AM, and was marked by live telecast of the state event led by Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma.
On the first day itself, ₹1,250 each was directly credited to 1.83 lakh women beneficiaries in Cachar, reflecting the scheme’s commitment to efficiency, speed, and transparency.
At Meherpur Durgabari, Minister Jayanta Malla Baruah inaugurated the programme, interacted with attendees, and appreciated the district team’s seamless coordination. Deputy Commissioner Mridul Yadav (IAS) and other top officials were also present, ensuring proper execution at all booths.
Earlier in the day, the Minister lit the ceremonial lamp at Booth No. 22, Durga Palli (Borkhola LAC), marking the local launch. Addressing the gathering, he traced the scheme’s journey from ₹830/month in 2020 to the current ₹1,250/month in Orunodoi 3.0, benefiting 40 lakh women across Assam.

He acknowledged minor exclusion cases due to documentation and assured they’ll be resolved. The financial aid will be disbursed on the 10th of every month going forward.
