Madhya Pradesh Increases 'Ladli Behna Yojana' Aid to ₹1,500 Monthly
Imagine a special government program in Madhya Pradesh that gives money to women every month to help them out.
This program, called the 'Ladli Behna Yojana,' used to give ₹1,250 each month.
Now, the leaders of the state have decided to give a little more money!
Starting this month, women who are part of this program will get ₹1,500 each month instead.
This is an increase of ₹250.
The Chief Minister will personally give out the first of these bigger payments on November 12th.
The government believes this will help women even more.
The program started with ₹1,000 a month and has been increased twice now to reach ₹1,500.
The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet has approved an increase in the 'Ladli Behna Yojana' monthly aid to ₹1,500 from the previous ₹1,250.
The enhanced amount will be effective from November 2025, with the first payment at the new rate on November 12th.
The scheme, launched in March 2023 with ₹1,000 per month, was previously raised to ₹1,250 in September 2023.
This increase will benefit approximately 1.26 crore women and requires an additional budget of over ₹1,793 crore for FY 2025-26.
The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet also approved a revised cost for the Acharya Shankar Museum project in Omkareshwar.
