MP CM Mohan Yadav Releases 41st Ladli Behna Yojana Instalment, Transfers ₹1500 Each To 1.25 Crore Women During Event In Umaria | VIDEO

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday (October 14) released the 41st instalment of the Ladli Behna Yojana from Guruwahi village in Umaria district, transferring ₹1,500 each to around 1.25 crore eligible women. He also inaugurated and laid the foundation stones for 136 development projects worth ₹144.15 crore. The district administration made special traffic and parking arrangements for his visit. Launched in June 2023, the scheme provides monthly financial assistance to eligible women across Madhya Pradesh.

This was the first time a Ladli Behna Yojana instalment was transferred from Umaria district, coinciding with the occasion of Navratri.

Addressing the gathering, Yadav said, "Since the launch of the scheme, ₹62,000 has been credited to each beneficiary's bank account."

He further said, "When the scheme was being launched, the Congress was extremely concerned. They said there were no funds and questioned how we would run the scheme."

"During the Congress regime, the budget for Women and Child Development was just ₹350 crore. However, it has now risen to ₹47,000 crore. I am proud of that," he added.
