The Impressive TimesRaipur, July 12, 2024 : Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai today assured that Mitanin Sisters would receive their funds promptly in their bank accounts, emphasizing a smooth and systematic fund transfer process. Speaking at the Deendayal Upadhyaya Auditorium in Raipur, where thousands of Mitanin Sisters from across Chhattisgarh had gathered, Sai highlighted the government’s commitment to transparency and good governance.
Praising the dedication and contributions of approximately 72,000 Mitanin Sisters, Sai acknowledged their pivotal role in improving maternal and infant mortality rates in the state. He announced a new initiative for the direct transfer of monthly incentives to their bank accounts. In a symbolic gesture, the Chief Minister initiated the transfer of ₹90 crore 8 lakh 84 thousand 20 to the accounts of Mitanin Sisters by pressing a remote button. This amount includes contributions from both the central and state governments, as well as the Mitanin incentive funds. The beneficiaries include 69,607 Mitanin Sisters, 3,448 Mitanin trainers, 289 block coordinators, 176 health panchayat coordinators, 26 urban area coordinators, and 285 Mitanin help desk coordinators.
Chief Minister Sai assured the Mitanin Sisters that they would receive their payments on time, without delays, highlighting their critical role in Chhattisgarh’s healthcare system. He commended their hard work, especially in remote areas.
Health Minister Shyam Bihari Jaiswal, presiding over the event, expressed gratitude for the Mitanin Sisters’ dedication and commitment, calling them the backbone of Chhattisgarh’s healthcare system.

The new system ensures monthly transfers directly to their bank accounts, with detailed information available through their Mitanin passbooks. Jaiswal also acknowledged the increase in institutional deliveries and public awareness, attributing these improvements to the Mitanin Sisters’ hard work, which has brought national recognition to Chhattisgarh’s health sector.
During the event, Chief Minister Sai interacted with Mitanin Sisters from various parts of the state and honored them with Mitanin passbooks, shawls, and ‘shreephal’.
