For the past few years central government to many state govt runs many types of schemes for the women of the country. In addition to initiatives from the central government, various state governments in India are implementing programs aimed at promoting women’s empowerment and enhancing their societal participation. Recently, several states have introduced new schemes specifically designed for women.
One such initiative is the Lado Laxmi Yojana launched by the Haryana government. This program provides direct financial assistance to women, with the government transferring Rs 2100 directly into their accounts. It is important to note the criteria for eligibility to benefit from this scheme.
What is the Lado Laxmi Yojana?
According to the 2011 census, Haryana recorded the lowest sex ratio in India, with only 877 women for every 1000 men. In response, the government has been actively working to promote women’s empowerment and increase their involvement in society. The recent introduction of the Lado Laxmi Yojana is part of these efforts.
Under this scheme, eligible women will receive a monthly financial aid of Rs 2100. The primary objective is to enhance women’s financial stability and improve their quality of life, ensuring they are not reliant on others for their basic needs.
Eligibility Criteria
The Haryana government has established specific eligibility requirements for the Lado Laxmi Yojana. Only women who meet these criteria will qualify for the benefits. Specifically, assistance will be provided to women holding Below Poverty Line (BPL) cards issued by the state. Women without BPL cards will not be eligible for the program. Additionally, the age range for beneficiaries is set between 18 and 60 years; women outside this age bracket will not qualify for assistance.
