Chief Minister Ladli Laxmi Yojana
Succeeded in bringing transformative thinking in the society
Mukhyamantri Ladli Lakshmi Yojana was started in Madhya Pradesh to strengthen the future of daughters. Its aim is to bring about a change in the thinking of the society including educational and economic empowerment of daughters. This scheme, which was started about 16 years ago, on one hand has increased the respect of daughters and on the other hand has succeeded in bringing about a change in the thinking of the society. This scheme has set many records since its inception and is on the path of continuous progress. The daughters of the state are getting the benefits of this scheme started by the Madhya Pradesh government which has proved to be a boon for the daughters. This is also helping poor parents to provide maintenance, higher education and healthy life to their girl child. The scheme has created a unique history for the nurture, protection and respect of daughters.
Journey covered for more than one and a half decade
With the aim of ensuring all-round development of girls, Madhya Pradesh Government started Ladli Lakshmi Yojana from 01 April 2007. The scheme has completed 16 years and has achieved unprecedented results. The special thing about the scheme is that it has been successful in changing the attitude of the society towards daughters. Today daughters are showcasing their talent in all fields. Till now, more than 46 lakh daughters of the state are taking benefit of this scheme by joining Ladli Lakshmi Club. Till now, more than 13 lakh 30 thousand beloved daughters have received scholarships worth more than Rs 366 crore.
The scheme became effective due to improvement in sex ratio
In the series of efforts started from Ladli Lakshmi Yojana to improve the condition of daughters and change the outlook of the society, many schemes were started for the education of girls, their better health and self-reliance. To ensure that the birth of a daughter is not considered a burden, Ladli Lakshmi Yojana has been started to ensure that a daughter is born a millionaire by birth. The positive impact of all these efforts is visible in the state. The birth rate of daughters in the state is 956 per 1 thousand sons. This improvement in sex ratio is indicative of the changed outlook of the society and is a major achievement for the state government. Madhya Pradesh is the first state in the country where Ladli Lakshmi Diwas is celebrated on 2 May. To ensure that daughters get full benefit of this scheme, no daughter should be deprived of the benefits of the scheme, hence Ladli Lakshmi Law was enacted in the state. Taking forward the respect of daughters, the construction work of Ladli Lakshmi Path, Ladli Lakshmi Vatika, Ladli Lakshmi Park and Ladli Lakshmi Panchayats is going on.
