Ladli Bahna Yojana: Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan said on Sunday that the state government has also included those women in the ‘Mukhyamantri Ladli Brahmin Yojana’, who were earlier deprived of the benefits of this scheme due to the family having a tractor.
He said that with the addition of six lakh more women, the number of beneficiaries in this scheme has now increased from 1.25 crore to 1.31 crore. Under this ambitious scheme of Chauhan, women of the state are being given Rs 1,000 per month from June this year. Chauhan said this while addressing the Chief Minister Ladli Brahmin Conference in Gwalior. On this occasion, he sent a total of Rs 1,269 crore to the accounts of 1.31 crore dear sisters by pressing a symbolic button.
The amount will increase from October
Chauhan said, “The family of 1.25 crore dear sisters has now become even bigger. Now by adding the married sisters aged 21 to 23 years and those who were deprived of the benefits of the scheme due to having a tractor in their house, this family has now become about 1.31 crore sisters. He said, “My darling.” Sisters, the fourth installment of happiness has been deposited in your accounts today. This journey will not stop here, from October an amount of Rs 1,250 will be deposited in the accounts of all my 1.31 crore dear sisters and gradually it will be increased to Rs 3,000 per month.
Chauhan said that Ladli Brahmin Yojana is bringing changes in the lives of sisters. Many sisters have started their own businesses. He said that the government will pay the increased bills of those poor dear sisters who have received increased electricity bills. The increased electricity bills will be reduced to zero by this month and from next month, the bills of those sisters whose electricity consumption is less than one kilowatt will be only Rs 100.
Housing scheme announced
The Chief Minister said that after taking applications from those poor sisters whose names have been left out in the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, their permanent houses will be built under the ‘Ladli Brahmin Awas Yojana’. Chauhan said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reduced the price of gas cylinder by Rs 200. We had asked to provide gas cylinder for Rs 450 in Sawan.
In this sequence, a scheme is being implemented in the state, under which there will be a provision to give gas cylinders to the sisters for Rs 450 and the remaining amount will be given by the state government. Chauhan said, “I have prayed to Mahakal Maharaj at the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain for adequate rainfall in the state. Today the Achaleshwar Mahadev temple is also bowed down for rain. By the grace of God and blessings of all you sisters, it is now raining in the state.
