According to the statement, the registration drive will continue "indefinitely" to ensure no eligible resident is left behind.

With an estimated 35-40 lakh women expected to enrol for the 'Mahila Samman Yojana' and around 15 lakh senior citizens likely to benefit from the 'Sanjeevani Yojana,' the scale of the outreach is "unprecedented," the statement said.

On Wednesday, former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia is scheduled to host a registration camp in the Jangpura Assembly constituency, joining several other AAP leaders who will organise similar initiatives across the city, it read.

Under the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana,' Delhi-residing women aged above 18, who are not employed in government or political positions, are eligible for a Rs 2,100 monthly allowance.

The 'Sanjeevani Yojana' promises to provide free healthcare for all senior citizens in Delhi, covering treatment costs in both private and government hospitals.
