Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav asserted that women are symbols of dedication. The government has accomplished every commitment made toward their welfare and continues to move forward with its resolve for the well-being of sisters. On Bhai Dooj, the Ladli Bahna Scheme’s installment amount was promised to be increased from ₹1,250 to ₹1,500, and today, that moment has arrived to fulfill this promise. The Chief Minister noted that 23 out of the scheme’s total 30 installments have been sent to beneficiaries, marking a significant milestone. The scheme has transformed not only the lives of the sisters but also the future direction of Madhya Pradesh itself. The Ladli Behna Scheme has evolved from a simple aid initiative into a powerful instrument of empowerment. What began as a gesture of support has now become a pathway to success.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav emphasised that the Ladli Behna Scheme is not merely a financial assistance programme but a powerful means of fostering self-respect and self-reliance among women. It is the fulfillment of the government’s commitment to build a strong and empowered Madhya Pradesh where every sister is self-reliant, confident, and strong. On Wednesday in Seoni district, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav addressed Ladli Bahnas and, with a single click, transferred ₹1,857 crore into the accounts of over 12.6 million Ladli Bahnas across the state, including more than 268,000 sisters in Seoni district. He remotely inaugurated and performed the Bhoomi Poojan for 114 development works in Seoni district, totaling ₹560.75 crore, including new projects such as a law college and four Sandipani Schools.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav also inaugurated the world’s largest tiger sculpture made from scrap, 17 feet high, 40 feet long and 8 feet wide, at Pench Tiger Reserve, Seoni. Responding to requests from local representatives, he announced plans to construct a stadium in Ghansor for the youth, build a major bridge across the river between Lamta in Balaghat and Pandia Chhapara in Seoni, and undertake several new road projects.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav engaged in heartfelt conversations with Ladli Bahna beneficiaries and families, learned about the benefits received from government schemes, and distributed entitlements. Addressing farmers, he said the district’s paddy farmers have received bonuses and assured them that the government will also purchase wheat and ensure full payment for maize crops.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav highlighted that the self-confidence of the Ladli Bahnas is Madhya Pradesh’s greatest asset. The sisters' empowerment elevates both society and the state. The government is making sustained efforts for the social, educational, and economic empowerment of women. Ladli Bahna Scheme provides not only financial support but also the strength for women to make independent decisions. Chief Minister called on everyone to help build a Madhya Pradesh where every sister is safe, educated, empowered, and self-reliant, because the state’s future resides in the smiles of its sisters. Empowered women strengthen families and society, and a strong society is the main foundation for a prosperous Madhya Pradesh.
