MP: Ladli Behna Sammelan at Ghatigaon in Gwalior; CM Mohan Yadav to transfer funds into accounts of 1.25 crore sisters
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, the state government is giving the highest priority to the economic empowerment of women. In line with this commitment, the monthly assistance under the scheme has been increased by Rs 250 since November, and eligible beneficiaries are now receiving Rs 1,500 per month as financial support.
Launched in June 2023, the scheme has emerged as a new foundation for economic confidence and social dignity for women in the state. From June 2023 to February 2026, a total of 33 instalments have already been transferred regularly. During this period, Rs 54,140 crore has been directly credited to the accounts of beneficiary women.
Govt now plans to extend its support beyond financial assistance
The state government now plans to extend its support beyond financial assistance, connecting women associated with the scheme with opportunities for skill development, employment, and self-employment, thereby enabling them to become self-reliant and play a vital role in the progress of their families and society.
