  "account": "Five states, including Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Tripura, have requested urgent financial support for the Urban Livelihood Mission, which has benefited over one crore women over the past decade. The states argue that a halt in funding will disrupt bank connections and access to institutional credit for the urban poor. Tamil Nadu, led by Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay, has demanded Rs 350 crore for 2026-27, while Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Tripura have requested Rs 81 crore, Rs 101 crore and Rs 6.5 crore, respectively. The states have also emphasized the importance of retaining the existing Mission structure and workforce to ensure continuity of services and support for beneficiaries.",
