Brief Background
The COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted various sectors, leading to a significant economic downturn and loss of livelihoods, especially for women working in informal sectors. As the demand for masks surged due to health and safety concerns, the Government of Madhya Pradesh launched the Jeevan Shakti Yojana to address two key issues: providing economic relief to women and ensuring the availability of masks for citizens.
