The Madhya Pradesh government has announced an enhancement of the monthly incentive of the Ladli Behna Yojana to Rs 1,500 from November.
Speaking at a function in Bhopal, the Chief Minister said:
Our government is steadfast in its commitment to women's welfare and bringing smiles to their faces.
The monthly incentive was initially Rs 1,000 per month. An additional Rs 250 per beneficiary was announced to be transferred from Bhai Dooj, but it did not materialize at that time.
Earlier, on October 12, the Chief Minister transferred the 29th instalment of Rs 1,541 crore directly into the accounts of over 1 crore beneficiaries.
