What amount will be given to eligible women under "Ladli Bahna Yojana" of the Madhya Pradesh Government?

Question

UnlockIAS · Accepted Answer

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.

Why the other options are wrong — (b) Overstates the scheme's monthly transfer amount at launch — the correct figure is ₹1,000.  (c) Understates the scheme's monthly transfer amount — the correct figure is ₹1,000.  (d) Overstates the scheme's monthly transfer amount at launch — the correct figure is ₹1,000.

Concept: 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.
