What is Ladli Behana Yojana
The flagship scheme of ‘Ladli Behana Yojana’ was launched by the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister on his birthday on March 5, 2023. Shivraj Singh Chouhan has participated in various programmes and public meetings in the past two months to raise awareness about the scheme.
Under the said scheme, an amount of ₹1000 will be sent to the bank accounts of 1.25 crore women, aged between 23 and 60 years, each month. The only condition is that the family’s annual income should be less than ₹2.5 lakh rupees annually and that the women are not income tax payees.
The beneficiaries can withdraw the amount from their bank accounts, starting Sunday i.e. June 11, 2023. Reportedly, a corpus of 8000 crores has been kept aside for the ‘Ladli Behana Yojana’ in the annual Budget.
To participate in the program, women were required to complete an application form, which could be obtained from Gram Panchayats, ward offices, and Anganwadi centres.

Authorised officials were responsible for entering the beneficiaries’ information into the Ladli Bahna portal, and subsequently, an acknowledgement slip was sent to the beneficiary’s mobile number. There was no charge for applying to the Ladli Bahna scheme.
Once the application submission period ended, a comprehensive list of all the beneficiaries was published. The deadline for applying to the scheme was April 30, 2023.
The scheme was introduced to promote financial independence for women and ensure adequate nutrition for their children. Additionally, the scheme seeks to empower women to participate in decision-making within their households.
On Friday (June 9), Shivraj Singh Chouhan held a high-level meeting with senior State government officials to review the preparations for the ‘Ladli Behana Yojana’ programme to be held in Jabalpur on June 10.
