Bhopal, November 10 (IANS) The Madhya Pradesh Cabinet led by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Monday approved the proposal to increase the monthly installment of ‘Ladli Brahmin Yojana’ to Rs 1,500 per month from this month.
The decision, taken during the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Yadav, reflects the state government’s continued focus on empowering women and supporting the farming community through direct benefit transfer.
Madhya Pradesh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Chaitanya Kashyap told media persons that the state cabinet has approved an increase of Rs 250, taking the total amount to Rs 1500 per month from this month.
Minister Kashyap said, “Chief Minister Mohan Yadav will transfer the monthly installment of Ladli Brahmin Yojana to 1.26 crore beneficiaries from November 12. From this month, the beneficiaries will get Rs 1,500 per month.”
Chief Minister Yadav had already announced to increase the monthly incentive amount of Ladli Brahmin Yojana to Rs 1,500 from November.
Earlier, Chief Minister Yadav had announced to transfer an additional Rs 250 per beneficiary on the occasion of Bhai Dooj to be held on October 23 this year.
However, this could not be implemented at that time.
Jabalpur Se Laadli Behna Scheme was launched by the previous Shivraj Singh Chouhan led Madhya Pradesh government on June 10, 2023.
This is seen as one of the primary reasons for the BJP’s landslide victory in the 2023 state assembly elections.
The scheme was started with an installment of Rs 1,000 per month to female beneficiaries called ‘Laadli Behna’, which later increased to Rs 1,250 per month. Now from this month the state government will give Rs 1500 per month.
The state government also plans to increase the monthly installment of this scheme to Rs 3,000 per month by 2028, before the next assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh.
Madhya Pradesh remains India’s largest soybean producing state, often referred to as the ‘Soy Bowl of India’. The Malwa region, with its fertile black cotton soil, contributes most to the soybean production of the state.
