‘Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin’ scheme has been announced by the Maharashtra government.
Maharashtra Deputy CM and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar announced the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin’ scheme for women.
Under this scheme, all women between 21 to 60 years of age will get financial assistance of Rs 1500 per month. This scheme will be implemented from July 2024.
The state government has allocated Rs 46,000 crore for the scheme.
This scheme seems to be inspired by the Laadli Behna scheme in Madhya Pradesh.
The Lek Ladki scheme was launched by the state government in 2023–24 to provide financial aid to families with girls and prevent dropouts of girls from school.
The Maharashtra government will also provide 3 free cylinders to families comprising 5 members every year to all households under the CM Anna Chhatra Yojana.
The state government will continue to give an Rs 5 per litre bonus to milk-producing farmers.
