Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that I salute Jhabua, where there is no discrimination between son and daughter. I had seen discrimination against daughters in many places. To change this mentality of society, Ladli Laxmi Yojana was implemented in the state. With the scheme, daughters are now being considered a boon and not a burden. He said that to give respect to sisters, we have made 50 percent reservations for women in local bodies. The result of this is that today many of our sisters have become panch-sarpanch, district, and district panchayat members and presidents. Provision has also been made for reservations for daughters in police, education, and other government recruitments.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan urged all the sisters present that on the evening of June 10, when the amount of Ladli Bahna Yojana will be deposited in their account, they must celebrate. Make sure to light a lamp in your home. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said in his emotional dialogue that I promise that I will live for my sisters and if I have to die, I will die for my sisters.
Chief Minister Shri Chouhan said that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has done a lot of work for the poor and women. We have restarted the schemes which were stopped by the previous government in Madhya Pradesh. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan performed Kanya Pujan. The tribal groups gave a beautiful presentation of hymns. The women also presented a skit based on the message of the Ladli Behan Yojana. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan announced to present an honorarium of Rs. 25 thousand each to both parties.
In the program, the Chief Minister also inaugurated the development works and performed Bhoomi Pujan. Along with this, acceptance letters and benefits of Ladli Bahna Yojana were distributed to the sisters. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan interacted with sisters and public service friends and inquired about the progress and implementation of government schemes.
