While Nai Roshni scheme targets women beneficiaries specifically, other schemes of the Ministry also lay lot of emphasis on minority women. In Seekho Aur Kamao (Learn & Earn) Scheme, 33% of the total beneficiaries are women. Similarly in Nai Manzil scheme , 30% of the total beneficiaries are women. These schemes help in economic empowerment of the Minority women.
