BHOPAL: In a heartfelt address following the Diwali festivities, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav reaffirmed his government’s commitment to the welfare of women, farmers, youth, and the economically disadvantaged.
Speaking ahead of Bhai Dooj, Dr Yadav described the state’s sisters as “our pride”, announcing that an additional Rs 250 would be credited to their accounts as a festive gesture, separate from the regular Ladli Bahna Yojana disbursement.
The Ladli Bahna Yojana, which has become a flagship scheme of the state’s social welfare architecture, saw its 29th instalment of Rs 1, 541 crore transferred to over 1.26 crore beneficiaries on October 12 in Sheopur district.
