Chief Minister's New Plan for Ladli Behna Yojana

To make the Ladli sisters more self-reliant, the state’s Chief Minister, Mohan Yadav, has announced a new initiative. This plan will focus on providing women with training to engage in cottage and village industries. The goal is to boost their income by connecting them to these industries and offering sustainable and long-term financial support.

In a recent meeting with the Cottage and Village Industries Department, the Chief Minister instructed officials to train women in various skills, such as handloom weaving, incense stick manufacturing, bamboo cultivation, and honey collection. The department will also facilitate the sale of honey and other products through Mriganayani and other local outlets.

Skills Training and Economic Upliftment

The state government is focusing on creating economic opportunities for women by linking them to local industries. Some key areas where women will be trained include:

  • Handloom Weaving: Providing financial benefits through traditional crafts.
  • Incense Stick Manufacturing: A local business that can boost income.
  • Bamboo Plantation: Encouraging sustainable and eco-friendly income sources.
  • Honey Collection and Sale: Women will receive training on honey collection, and the government will ensure that the products are sold through official outlets like Mriganayani.

The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of promoting local products instead of external goods in cities, boosting the state's cottage industries.

Progress of Ladli Behna Yojana So Far

The Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana was launched by former Chief Minister and current Union Agriculture Minister, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, in 2023 before the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh. Initially, women received Rs 1,000 per month, but this amount has since increased to Rs 1,250.

The government has also assured that this financial support will continue to grow, with plans to raise the monthly payment to Rs 3,000. So far, women have received 16 installments under this scheme.

Ladli Behna Awas Yojana – Housing Assistance for Women

In addition to monthly financial support, women who do not own a home can now benefit from the Ladli Behna Awas Yojana, which provides financial assistance to build a permanent house. Eligible women will receive Rs 1,20,000 in installments to construct a house. The first installment of Rs 25,000 is expected to be released soon, although an official date has yet to be confirmed.

Affordable Gas Cylinders for Ladli Sisters

Another major benefit for women under this scheme is the provision of LPG cylinders at a subsidized rate of Rs 450Here's how it works: Ladli sisters purchase the gas refill at the regular selling price, and the difference between the selling price and Rs 450 is refunded to their accounts as a subsidy. This subsidy is available on one refill per month.
