MP CM transfers Rs 1,836 crore for 34th instalment of Laldi Behna Yojana in Gwalior

CM Mohan Yadav transfers 34th instalment of ₹1,836 crore to over 1.25 crore women beneficiaries. Scheme amount to rise to ₹3,000/month by 2028.

"enabling them to become self-reliant - Madhya Pradesh Government"

Gwalior, March 13

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, on Friday, transferred Rs 1,836 crore into the bank accounts of more than 1.25 crore women, the beneficiaries of the Ladli Behna Yojana.

The Chief Minister transferred the amount through a single click during a ceremonial event -- 'Ladli Behna Sammelan' organised at the Shabari Mata Temple in Gwalior.

Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who is a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha MP from Guna constituency, also joined the event.

It was the 34th instalment of the Ladli Behna Yojana since the BJP government started this cash benefit scheme for the women aged between 23 and 60 years in June 2023 with Rs 1,000 per month into the bank accounts of the eligible beneficiaries of the scheme.

In September 2023, the amount for each beneficiary was increased to Rs 1,250 and then again it was increased to Rs 1,500 per month in November 2025.

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had earlier announced that the BJP-led state government will increase the amount to Rs 3,000 per month by 2028.

As of now the state government has transferred more than Rs 55,976 crore, including the 34th instalment of Rs 1,836 crore on Friday.

On the occasion, the Chief Minister also interacted with several beneficiaries to learn how they utilise the Rs 1,500 monthly assistance provided under the Ladli Behna Yojana.

The state government is now planning to extend its support beyond financial assistance by connecting women associated with the scheme, with opportunities for skill development, employment and self-employment, enabling them to become self-reliant and play a vital role in the progress of their families and society.

During the event at Shabari Mata temple, Chief Minister Yadav also performed the 'bhoomi pujan' and inauguration of 54 development projects in Gwalior district, with a total estimated cost of around Rs 122 crore.

Among the projects inaugurated includes the Sandipani School building in Kulaith, constructed at a cost of about Rs 40 crore, and a high-level bridge over the Sank river on the Dada Khirk-Tighra road, built at a cost of Rs 9.11 crore.

Other works include the Sub-Health Centre at Banheri and newly constructed roads in both urban and rural areas of Gwalior district.

Good to see the funds being transferred on time. The scale is impressive - 1.25 crore women! However, I hope the government is also rigorously checking for duplicate or ineligible beneficiaries. Every rupee of taxpayer money should reach the truly deserving.

The skill development and self-employment plan mentioned at the end is the most crucial part. Direct cash is helpful, but true empowerment comes from sustainable income generation. Hope they follow through on that promise effectively.

Organising the event at Shabari Mata Temple and doing bhoomi pujan for development projects shows respect for our culture. Development and tradition can go hand in hand. Jai Shabari Mata! The new school and bridge will also benefit the region greatly.

Interesting to see such a large-scale direct benefit transfer. Over ₹55,000 crore disbursed is a massive fiscal commitment. The economic multiplier effect from putting money in the hands of women, who often spend it on family welfare, could be significant for the state's local economy.

While the scheme is good, I respectfully question the timing of such large disbursements and project inaugurations. It feels very close to the election cycle. Welfare should be a continuous, non-political commitment to citizens, not an event.
