The Laadli Bahena Yojana was launched in Maharashtra. This scheme is also known as the Chief Minister’s Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. Under this program, eligible women beneficiaries receive financial assistance of ₹1,500 every month. So far, 10 installments of this scheme have been distributed, and women are eagerly awaiting the date for the 11th installment. The scheme began in July 2024, and since then, lakhs of women have benefited from it.
Meanwhile, there is good news for women in Maharashtra.
