What amount will be given to eligible women under "Ladli Bahna Yojana" of the Madhya Pradesh Government?
- (a)₹ 1,000 p.m.
- (b)₹ 2,000 p.m.
- (c)₹ 500 p.m.
- (d)₹ 2,500 p.m.
Correct — A, ₹1,000 per month. Mukhya Mantri Ladli Bahna Yojana, launched by the Madhya Pradesh Government in 2023, transfers ₹1,000 every month directly into the bank accounts of eligible women (drawn from economically weaker families) to support their financial independence.
- (b)₹ 2,000 p.m. — Overstates the scheme's monthly transfer amount at launch — the correct figure is ₹1,000.
- (c)₹ 500 p.m. — Understates the scheme's monthly transfer amount — the correct figure is ₹1,000.
- (d)₹ 2,500 p.m. — Overstates the scheme's monthly transfer amount at launch — the correct figure is ₹1,000.
Ladli Bahna Yojana is a Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) welfare scheme — cash paid straight into eligible women's own bank accounts every month. It is a distinct scheme from Ladli Laxmi Yojana, Madhya Pradesh's older initiative for the girl child, which is an education/marriage-linked savings scheme rather than a recurring adult cash transfer.
MPPSC prelims regularly tests the launch year, eligibility, and the exact monthly amount of the state's current flagship welfare schemes — these are 'current affairs meets governance' questions, so always peg the answer to figures as they stood in the exam year.
- Launched by the Madhya Pradesh Government in 2023
- A monthly Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) of ₹1,000 to eligible women
- Aimed at economically weaker women, to support their financial independence
- Distinct from Ladli Laxmi Yojana, MP's girl-child welfare scheme
Ladli Bahna Yojana pays ₹1,000 per month directly to eligible women.
- Mixing up Ladli Bahna (adult women, monthly cash transfer) with Ladli Laxmi (girl child, education-linked)
- Assuming the launch amount and any later revised amount are the same — welfare-scheme figures get revised over time
MPPSC prelims tests the exact monthly amount and target group of current state schemes almost every year — memorise the figure precisely as it stood at the exam's reference date.
