Financial aid for women

EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE  
VADODARA, March 30: Financial assistance of over Rs 9.95 lakh has been given to as many as 2,319 pregnant women belonging to poor strata in the district during the year 1998-1999, an official release said here on Tuesday.

According to the release, more than 2,300 women had taken the benefit from the health department in the Naswadi taluka, while only 76 women came ahead in the Tilakwada taluka which reflected lack of awareness among the populace there.
