The Madhya Pradesh government has recently released the 30th monthly instalment of the Ladli Behna Yojana (LBY). This welfare programme is aimed at empowering women across the state.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav launched the disbursal ceremony in the Seoni district and the funds were directly transferred into the beneficiaries' bank accounts. According to official figures, Seoni district alone has 268,000 beneficiaries.
This hike in entitlement was introduced during Bhai Dooj, when the CM had pledged to enhance the monthly assistance to Rs 1,500. This move is aimed at improving women's economic independence. This was met with widespread appreciation. The total expenditure under the Ladli Behna Yojana has now crossed Rs 44,000 crore since it was first launched.
How To Check If The Amount Is Credited

After selecting the Application and Payment section, beneficiaries can enter their registration numbers, further authenticating them with an OTP. Then, they can instantly view the payment status and details. This tracking system has improved transparency and dependency.
How Has This Initiative Helped Women
The scheme has played a vital role in promoting financial inclusion and gender empowerment across Madhya Pradesh. The funds received under the scheme are proving useful for women as a support to essential needs. They are able to participate in financial decision-making.
