This is such a wonderful initiative! My sister in Bhopal has benefited greatly from Ladli Behna Yojana. The money helps her pay for her daughter's school fees and household expenses. Hope they increase the amount to ₹3000 soon 🙏

Good to see continuity in welfare schemes despite change in leadership. But I wonder - how sustainable are these freebies in the long run? The state's debt is already quite high. Need more job creation along with welfare.

The LPG subsidy along with Ladli Behna is a great combo! Cooking gas has become so expensive these days. This will really help rural women. My didi in Jabalpur says it's made a big difference in her monthly budget.

While these schemes are good, implementation needs improvement. My neighbor in Indore still hasn't received last month's installment due to some bank account issue. The helpline wasn't helpful either. Government should fix these gaps.

The Sambal Yojana is a lifesaver for laborers! My husband works in construction and we always worry about accidents. Knowing there's financial support in case of emergencies gives us peace of mind. More states should have such schemes.

Hope the new CM maintains the momentum of development works. MP has made good progress in recent years. The education support for workers' children is especially commendable - education is the real ladder out of poverty.
