Maharashtra Minister Advises Women to Save Ladki Bahin Yojana Funds
The Maharashtra government has a scheme called Ladki Bahin Yojana that gives Rs 1,500 every month to women from low-income families.
Recently, the Women and Child Welfare Minister, Aditi Tatkare, advised these women not to spend all the money on shopping.
Instead, she suggested saving a part of it in self-help groups, banks, or cooperative societies.
This advice is to help women have money for the future.
