Introduction
In an effort to empower women and promote their financial independence, the government of Madhya Pradesh has implemented various schemes, including the Ladli Behna Yojana. This scheme aims to provide financial assistance to women by transferring a monthly sum of Rs. 1000 directly to their bank accounts. The Ladli Behna Yojana was launched in March 2023, and the first phase has already benefited around 1.25 crore eligible beneficiaries. Now, as the scheme enters its second phase, registration is open for women who missed out on the first phase. Additionally, the third installment of the scheme will be disbursed on August 10th, benefiting an even larger number of women.
The Third Installment of Ladli Behna Yojana
Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the third installment of the Ladli Behna Yojana will transfer Rs. 1000 directly to the accounts of 1.25 crore beneficiary women. The distribution of this installment will take place during a program held in the Riva district, where the funds will be transferred through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system. To inform the beneficiaries, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has sent out a message stating that he will deposit Rs. 1000 into their accounts on August 10th. The program in Riva will commence at 1 PM, and at 2 PM, the Chief Minister will engage in a conversation with the women beneficiaries. He emphasizes that the Ladli Behna Yojana is not only about providing monetary assistance but also about honoring and respecting women.
“This time, on August 10th, I will deposit Rs. 1000-1000 into your accounts from Riva. I appeal to all of you to be present at this program in your respective villages, cities, and wards to hear your brother. Ladli Behna Yojana is not just about giving money to sisters; it is about honoring them.” – Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan

According to media reports, the Chief Minister will release the third installment online from the Riva district. He will participate in a public interaction program while sitting in an open chariot. Additionally, he will inaugurate various initiatives at the Medical College.
