Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav made a major announcement in Indore regarding the Ladli Behna Yojana. He stated that the government is committed to fulfilling its promise of providing \u20b93,000 per month to women under the scheme. Initially launched with a monthly assistance of \u20b91,000, the amount was later increased to \u20b91,250, with an additional \u20b9250 given during Rakshabandhan. Now, starting from Diwali, the monthly assistance will be raised to \u20b91,500.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Chief Minister also announced that the monthly assistance under the Ladli Behna Yojana will be increased to \u20b93,000 by the year 2028. He took a dig at Congress leaders, stating that the BJP government functions with responsibility and commitment. Referring to the case involving Congress councillor Anwar Qadri, the CM asserted that anyone who breaks the law will face strict action. CM Mohan Yadav said that his government stands by its promise of giving Rs 3000 every month to women under the Ladli Behna Yojana. He said that BJP does what it says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is worth noting that this popular scheme was launched by former Chief Minister and current Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan ahead of the 2023 assembly elections. According to political experts, the Ladli Behna Yojana played a significant role in the BJP\u2019s return to power in Madhya Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ladli Behna Yojana is Madhya Pradesh\u2019s largest Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme and played a major role in the BJP\u2019s victory in the November 2023 assembly elections. Under this scheme, the government transfers around \u20b91,575 crore every month to the bank accounts of 1.29 crore women beneficiaries. When the scheme was launched, the government promised to gradually increase the monthly assistance from \u20b91,000 to \u20b93,000. However, the current amount remains \u20b91,250, and there has been no progress toward the promised hike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Opposition leaders, including former minister PC Sharma, have criticised the government for failing to fulfil its commitment to raise the amount to \u20b92,500 or more. Further complicating matters, there has been no consideration to expand the scheme to include new beneficiaries or lower the age limit from 21 to 18 years. The government also ruled out any increase in the maximum age limit of 60 years to make more women eligible for the benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
