Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said Ladli Bahna Yojana is a scheme that came out of my heart. If the sisters are strong then the family, society, state and country will be strong. The aim of my life is to make the life of sisters simple and pleasant. Sisters should not be troubled for their minor financial requirement, therefore arrangements have been made in the scheme to provide one thousand rupees to each sister every month. Sisters between the age group of 23 to 60 of families whose annual income is less than 2.5 lakh rupees, who have less than 5 acres of land and who do not have any income tax payer, are eligible for the scheme. Family in the scheme means husband, wife and children. By providing this amount to the sisters, along with the sisters, the entire family will also be benefited. Applications for the scheme will be filled from March 25 to April 30. The applications will be scrutinized in the month of May and the first installment will be deposited in the bank accounts of the sisters on 10th June. Those sisters who do not have bank accounts will also be helped to open their accounts.
Chouhan was inaugurating the Ladli Bahna Yojana in a huge convention organised at Jamboree Maidan in Bhopal. All the villages and wards of the state were connected virtually with the programme.
Mother, sister, daughter have always been respected in our country
Chouhan said that special arrangements have been made by the state government to ensure that women do not face any problem in the implementation of the scheme. Mother, sister and daughter have always been respected in our country. Daughters and sisters are considered as Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati in our place. Even in taking the names of deities and gods, the names of Lakshmi ji and Sita ji are taken first. That means woman is first. Over time, circumstances changed and women became victims of discrimination.
Successful implementation of schemes for sisters and daughters made my chief ministership meaningful
Chouhan said that seeing discrimination against sisters and daughters, I used to feel pain since childhood. Along with being active in public life, it has been my endeavor that the daughter should not be considered a burden but a boon. As a result, as soon as I became an MLA, I started getting daughters married with the help of my colleagues and as soon as I became the Chief Minister, the first girl marriage plan was made and its implementation was ensured. It was my vow that the daughter born on the land of Madhya Pradesh should be a millionaire. With this pledge, the Ladli Laxmi Yojana took a concrete form. After this, arrangements were made for books, uniforms, cycles etc. to help the daughters in their studies. In order to enable the laborer sisters to take rest after the birth of son and daughter, arrangements have been made to give Rs. 4,000 before the birth and Rs. 12,000 after the birth of the child under the Sambal Yojana. Gaon Ki Beti, Pratibha Kiran and Prasuti Sahayata Yojana were made for the sisters. It was my dream to provide equal opportunities for progress to sisters and daughters. Successful implementation of these schemes made my becoming Chief Minister meaningful.
Chouhan inaugurated the program by honoring the sisters
Chouhan welcomed the sisters who came to participate in the launch program of Ladli Bahna Yojana by showering flowers.

Today’s program is being started by honoring the sisters. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan honored the women by presenting them shawl and nutritional porridge.

Camps will be organized in every village and ward for application
Chouhan said that Ladli Bahna Yojana is a great yagya to increase the respect of sisters. Sisters do not need to go anywhere to apply for the scheme. Camps will be organized in every village and every ward and staff will be given the responsibility to help in filling the applications. Information about camps in wards of rural and urban areas will be given in advance. Sisters, don’t fall in the trap of any middleman and broker to take advantage of the scheme. In case of any difficulty, information should be given on phone number 181.
“Ladli Bahna Sena” will be formed for the protection of sisters
Chouhan said that the state government is determined to provide security, respect and all opportunities for progress to sisters and daughters. Strict action is being taken against those who harass sisters and daughters. In this sequence, the premises near the liquor shop have been closed. Taking the next step towards women empowerment, “Ladli Bahna Sena” will also be formed for the protection of sisters and daughters. E-scooty will be made available to the girl child who comes first in the government school in Class 12th.
Chouhan resolved all to actively participate in the process of progress and development of all sisters and daughters.
