ABSTRACT: The Orunodoi Scheme in Assam targets specific categories of people based on socio-economic criteria to ensure it reaches those most in need of financial support. The Scheme primarily aims to benefit female heads of households who are economically vulnerable. Under this scheme, eligible women receive a monthly financial assistance of Rs. 1000, which is intended to help them manage household expenses and reduce economic burdens. This direct benefit transfer empowers women by enhancing their financial independence and providing a steady source of income. This paper tries to study the economic empowerment of rural women due to the scheme and to identify various challenges faced by rural woman in accessing, utilizing scheme benefits of the study area. For these purpose data have been collected from both secondary and primary sources and analysed with different statistical techniques.
