Haryana Enhances Samman Sanjeevani App for Women’s Welfare
On June 2, 2025, Haryana’s Women and Child Development Minister, Shruti Choudhry, unveiled an upgraded version of the Samman Sanjeevani App, aimed at bolstering women’s health and empowerment under the Mahila Evam Kishori Samman Yojana. Initially launched on National Girl Child Day 2025, the app facilitates the distribution of sanitary napkins to Below Poverty Line (BPL) women and girls aged 10-45 through Anganwadi centers and schools. The latest upgrade introduces advanced features to streamline service delivery and enhance health outcomes.
The revamped app now includes real-time tracking of sanitary napkin distribution, ensuring timely delivery to beneficiaries. It also incorporates a beneficiary data management system, allowing authorities to monitor registrations and update monthly benefits efficiently. A new health awareness module provides women with access to educational content on menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, and nutrition, empowering them with knowledge to make informed health decisions.
Haryana’s government has emphasized that the upgrade aligns with its broader goal of promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment. The app’s enhanced interface allows Anganwadi workers and school authorities to report stock levels, reducing delays in supply chains. Additionally, it enables beneficiaries to provide feedback, ensuring accountability and transparency in the scheme’s implementation.
The Mahila Evam Kishori Samman Yojana, supported by the app, has already reached thousands of women and girls across Haryana, with the upgraded system expected to benefit over 10 lakh beneficiaries in the coming year. The initiative is part of the state’s ongoing efforts to strengthen the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign, marking its 10th anniversary in 2025. The government has allocated additional funds to ensure the scheme’s sustainability, with plans to integrate more health services, such as free health check-ups, in future updates.
Local women’s groups and health advocates have welcomed the upgrade, noting its potential to address menstrual poverty and improve health literacy. “This app makes it easier for us to access essential supplies and learn about health practices,” said Sunita Devi, a beneficiary from Hisar. However, some challenges remain, including ensuring internet access in rural areas to maximize the app’s reach.
The upgrade was rolled out following feedback from Anganwadi workers and beneficiaries, who highlighted the need for a more user-friendly interface and robust tracking mechanisms. The Haryana government has also partnered with local NGOs to conduct awareness drives, encouraging more women to register for the scheme via the app.
