In Madhya Pradesh, the BJP benefited a lot from the ‘Ladli Behna’ scheme. Due to this scheme, the then Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh got huge votes. Therefore, in the interim budget presented in the backdrop of Maharashtra Assembly elections, the Mahagathbandhan government has literally showered schemes on the people of Maharashtra. Finance Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar announced this scheme in the name of Ladki Behna while presenting the budget in the legislature yesterday. But now the truth has come out as to which class of women will get the benefit of this scheme.
Women and Child Welfare Development Minister Aditi Tatkare has said that this scheme will benefit 2.5 crore women of the state. Under this scheme, women will get Rs 1500. On this occasion, Aditi Tatkare said that earlier her state had started the Lek Majhi Ladki Yojana for newborn girls. More than 2.5 lakh girls are given its benefit. More than 70 to 80 thousand proposals were submitted for this scheme. Generally 25 to 30 thousand beneficiaries have benefited from it. In the next period, 60,000 to 70,000 Lekki will be benefited. Now ‘Mukhyamantri Behan Majhi Ladki’ scheme has been announced. Rs 1500 will be deposited directly in the account of 2.5 crore women. Beneficiaries of DBT get direct assistance as per the election. The amount is distributed directly in the account. Who Beneficiaries Aditi Tatkare has said that the opposition should welcome this scheme because the money will go into the account of the person who fulfils the criteria.
‘Mukhyamantri Ladki Behen Yojana’ is going to be in the name of women. The benefit of this scheme will be given to women between the ages of 21 and 60. Although the benefit of the Ladki Behen Yojana will be given to 2.5 crore women of the state, but there are some conditions. Those with income less than 2.5 lakhs will benefit from this. Women doing government jobs will not benefit from this. The benefit of this scheme will be given to married, widowed, divorced, abandoned and destitute women between the ages of 21 and 60 from economically weaker sections. Aditi Tatkare said that women whose combined annual family income is less than Rs 2.50 lakh will be given Rs 1,500 per month.
pink rickshaw scheme
We have also started the ‘Pink Rickshaw Scheme’. Aditi Tatkare also said that we will provide 10 thousand pink rickshaws for these women to drive. The number of beneficiaries of Rajiv Gandhi Niradhar Yojana and Shravanbal Yojana is less. But we have increased this scheme by Rs 500 to Rs 1,500. The beneficiary will get the benefit of any one government scheme. The scheme for farming provides a help of Rs 12 thousand from the Center. But there is no problem in this because this scheme is in the name of men.
