Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav on Monday wrote on social media platform X that the state government has released Rs 1,553 crore to the accounts of more than 1.27 crore women under ‘Ladli Behna Yojana’.
“Transfer of funds to the accounts of beneficiaries of Ladli Behna Yojana, Social Security Pension and Kisan Kalyan Yojana in a program organised by Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav in Sonkachh, District Dewas,” said the MP Chief Minister’s X (former Twitter) handle on February 10, 2025.
The Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana was initiated on January 28, 2023, by ex-Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan with the goal of promoting women’s well-being, nutrition, and economic empowerment.
Over 1.25 crore women have registered for this initiative, which takes applications in phases. Initially, participants were granted Rs 1,000 monthly, a sum that was subsequently raised to Rs 1,250. There is an intention to progressively boost the monthly stipend to Rs 3,000 as part of the government’s ongoing efforts.
Women wishing to qualify must be residents of Madhya Pradesh, aged between 21 and 60 years, and have an annual family income below Rs 2.50 lakh.
The MP government on its website has said: “All married women (including widows, divorced, and deserted women) who are local residents of Madhya Pradesh and born after January 1, 1961, but till January 1, 2000, and do not fall in the category of ineligibility mentioned in the scheme will be eligible to apply in the year 2023.”
The notification added: If any member of the applicant’s family is employed as a regular/permanent employee/contractual employee in the Government Department/Undertaking/Board/Local Body of the Government of India or State Government or is receiving pension after retirement, then she will be ineligible, but honorary workers and employees employed through outsourcing agency will not be ineligible.”
The Madhya Pradesh Government emphasised on promoting economic independence among women, enhancing their health and nutrition standards, and empowering them to play a more active role in family decisions, according to information on the cmladlibahna.mp.gov.in website.
