Chouhan said that he is not a step brother of the sisters of the state but a real brother. I always think of their welfare. One day at 4 o’clock in the morning a resolution came in my mind that I should gift Rakhi to my sisters and this gift should not be given on one day but every month. Ladli Bahna Yojana is the gift of her brother to the sisters of the state. The filling of its forms will start from March 25 and from the month of June, the sisters will get Rs 1000 every month. Sisters do not need to go anywhere for this. Government employees will come to cities, villages and wards and get the forms filled.
Chouhan said that respect of sisters and daughters is top priority for the state government. Daughters are not a curse but a boon on the land of Madhya Pradesh. There is a provision of death penalty for those who misbehave with daughters. There are 44 lakh 20 thousand beloved Lakshmis in the state. Schemes like girl marriage and maternity assistance are being run. Earlier, laptops were being given under the Medhavi Vidyarthi Yojana. Along with this, now the daughter who will get the highest marks in class 12th in the village will also be given an e-scooty. Shivraj uncle is getting the fees of higher education filled in the meritorious student scheme. Medical and engineering education has also been started in the state in Hindi.
Chouhan said that Sambal is a scheme for the welfare of the poor. In this, poor families are given various types of help from birth to education etc. 4 lakh is given to the family in case of accidental death, Rs. 2 lakh in case of normal death and Rs. 1 lakh in case of disability. The previous government had stopped this scheme and struck off the names of a large number of beneficiaries. Our government has started the scheme again and has also done the work of adding names. So far 13 lakh deleted names have been added.
Chouhan said that a large number of youth are being provided employment opportunities in the state. In the “Learn and Earn” scheme, about one lakh youth will be given benefits in the coming one year. The process of recruitment for one lakh 24 thousand government posts is going on in the state. Apart from this, one lakh youths are being linked with self-employment. Our government will pay the amount of Rs 2 thousand 500 crore towards the interest of the farmers who defaulted in the previous government.
