Ladli Behna Yojana: The Madhya Pradesh government has come forward with a special Rakhi gift for women enrolled in the Ladli Behna Yojana. Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has announced that 1.27 crore women will receive an extra ₹250 as a festive bonus, making this Rakshabandhan even more special. This amount will be directly transferred to their bank accounts before the festival.
When Will the 27th Installment Be Released?
Rakshabandhan is set to be celebrated on 9th August 2025. The 27th installment of the Ladli Behna Yojana, along with the ₹250 Rakhi gift, is expected to be credited between 1st and 7th August. While the government has not officially confirmed the date, preparations are already in motion.
Current Monthly Assistance and Upcoming Increase
At present, women registered under the Ladli Behna Yojana receive ₹1250 every month. However, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav recently announced plans to increase this monthly aid to ₹1500. This change is likely to take effect from Diwali, giving women even more financial relief during the festive season.
What is Ladli Behna Yojana?
Launched in May 2023 by former Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the Ladli Behna Yojana was introduced to support married women aged between 21 and 60 years. The first installment of ₹1000 was credited on 10th June 2023. Later, during Rakshabandhan 2023, the monthly amount was increased to ₹1250. Since then, women have been receiving regular financial aid through this scheme.
Extra ₹5000 Support for Self-Employment
To promote self-reliance among women, the government has added another benefit. Women interested in working in readymade garment factories or similar businesses can receive an extra ₹5000. This amount is separate from the regular monthly assistance and aims to support women who want to start earning.
The Ladli Behna Yojana continues to make a positive impact by supporting the financial needs of women across Madhya Pradesh. With the added Rakhi gift and upcoming increase in monthly aid, the scheme promises even more relief and empowerment for its beneficiaries.
