India Considers Increasing Monthly Allowance for Women Under Ladki Bahin Yojana

When will the beneficiaries of the Ladki Bahin Yojana, which has proved to be a game-changer in Maharashtra politics, get an increase from Rs 1,500 a month to Rs 2,100 a month? The Mahayuti government had promised to increase the amount of the Ladki Bahin scheme from Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,100. Now there has been a big development at the central level about this. The amount of schemes like Ladki Bahin needs to be reviewed periodically. The research paper submitted by the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PM EAC) suggests that the amount of cash should be increased if necessary due to rising inflation and changes in household spending. The report submitted by the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council (PM EAC) studied the Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana in Maharashtra and the Subhadra Yojana in Odisha. The report states that these schemes have increased women's savings, helped household expenses, and improved the economic status of the family. The report says that along with the digital cash-help groups, they should also be strengthened.
