CM Yadav highlighted the dual-engine government in the state, which has brought double benefits to women through the Ladli Laxmi and Ladli Behna schemes. He emphasized that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India is prepared to tackle any challenges. The goal is to develop a prosperous India by 2047, with the state’s women playing a crucial role in this vision. The 34th installment of the Ladli Behna Scheme has seen ₹1,836 crores transferred to the accounts of over 1.25 crore sisters.
He further mentioned that every month, ₹1,500 is now being sent to each Ladli sister’s account. To date, over ₹52,000 crores have been disbursed to beneficiaries under this scheme.
Additionally, CM Yadav inaugurated 54 development projects in Gwalior district, worth ₹121.95 crores. He performed ground-breaking ceremonies for 35 projects costing nearly ₹60 crores and inaugurated 19 projects valued at approximately ₹62 crores, including the newly constructed building of the Government Sandipani School in Kulaiath Ghatigaon, which cost ₹39.86 crores.
