Ladli Behna Yojana provides ₹1,250 monthly to women, with additional gas refill subsidies, empowering women in Madhya Pradesh.
The Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana, a welfare scheme aimed at empowering women in Madhya Pradesh, has provided a double benefit for eligible women this month. The scheme, which gives financial assistance of ₹1,250 per month, released its 18th installment recently. Along with this payment, women in the state also received a gas refill subsidy under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, adding extra support for households in need.
The Mukhyamantri Ladli Behna Yojana is a government initiative in Madhya Pradesh that provides financial support to women to promote self-reliance and empowerment. Every month, eligible women receive ₹1,250 directly in their bank accounts, helping with daily expenses. To date, 18 installments have been distributed, and the 19th installment is scheduled for December.
In addition to the monthly payment, women in Indore and other regions have also received a subsidy for gas cylinder refills. The gas refill subsidy is available to women who are part of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, which supplies LPG connections to low-income families. Under this initiative, eligible women can purchase LPG cylinders for only ₹450 each month.
The gas refill subsidy, totaling ₹55.60 crore, was transferred to more than 26 lakh women across Madhya Pradesh who have LPG connections. This support was also extended to beneficiaries of the Social Security Pension Scheme.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has hinted at increasing the monthly assistance amount. The program initially offered ₹1,000 per month, which was then raised to ₹1,250. Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan previously suggested that this amount could be raised to ₹3,000 in the future.
