Orunodoi 3.0 - Assam Latest News

Orunodoi 3.0 was officially launched on October 7, 2025, by Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, covering more than 38 lakh women beneficiaries with a monthly amount of ₹1,250.
Starting in November 2025, people with ration cards will get subsidised pulses, salt, sugar, and ₹250 for cooking gas cylinders every month, along with the cash transfer.

Orunodoi 3.0 - Assam Key Takeaways

Direct Benefit Transfer gives ₹1,250 a month to women in Assam who are financially challenged through Orunodoi 3.0.
To become a beneficiary, you must sign up for the National Food Security Act (NFSA).
The plan gives priority to widows, older women, people with disabilities, and families with serious illnesses or low incomes.
People send in their applications in person to Gram Panchayat/ULB offices, where they go through several levels of verification before being approved.

The then-Hon'ble Finance Minister revealed Orunodoi, which is called the "foremost bead" among the Ashtadash Mukutar Unnoyonee Maala, in his Budget Speech 2020-21. The plan is to empower women, reduce poverty, and include financially vulnerable women in the state's economy by giving them monthly financial help so that they are sure to have at least some money coming in each month. Orunudoi 1.0 and 2.0 have been phased out, which paved the way for Orunodoi 3.0

To be eligible for Orunodoi 3.0, a person must first be a beneficiary of the National Food Security Act (NFSA). For the purpose of putting this plan into action, the definitions of household, family, income criterion, and so on will follow the NFSA guidelines that are already in place. In this new phase of Orunodoi, beneficiaries would automatically be given AADHAAR numbers. This is a proven way to give benefits to Antyodaya across the country quickly. For example, practically all NFSA beneficiaries in Assam already have AADHAAR numbers.
