The long-standing promise of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav finally came true on 12 November, as the MP BJP government began paying Rs 1500 per month instead of Rs 1250 to more than 1.26 crore women beneficiaries of the ‘Laadli Behna Yojana’.
CM Yadav transferred an amount of Rs 1857 crore with a single click into the accounts of beneficiaries at a function held at Seoni.
Asserting that women are symbols of dedication, Yadav said the state government has accomplished every commitment made toward their welfare and continues to move forward with its resolve for the well-being of sisters.
The Chief Minister noted that the scheme has transformed not only the lives of the sisters but also the future direction of Madhya Pradesh itself.
“The Laadli Behna Scheme has evolved from a simple aid initiative into a powerful instrument of empowerment. What began as a gesture of support has now become a pathway to success”, Yadav emphasized.
The CM reiterated that the scheme is not merely a financial assistance programme but a powerful means of fostering self-respect and self-reliance among women.
“It is the fulfillment of the government’s commitment to build a strong and empowered Madhya Pradesh where every sister is self-reliant, confident, and strong”, the CM maintained.
The CM also remotely inaugurated and performed the Bhoomi Poojan for 114 development works in Seoni district, totaling Rs 560.75 crore, including new projects such as a law college and four Sandipani Schools.
Chief Minister Yadav also inaugurated the world’s largest tiger sculpture made from scrap, 17 feet high, 40 feet long and 8 feet wide, at Pench Tiger Reserve, Seoni. Responding to requests from local representatives, he announced plans to construct a stadium in Ghansor for the youth, build a major bridge across the river between Lamta in Balaghat and Pandia Chhapara in Seoni, and undertake several new road projects.
