5 Lakh Ladki Bahin Beneficiaries Declared Ineligible by Maha Govt
The Maharashtra government has taken a significant step towards streamlining its welfare schemes by declaring around 5 lakh beneficiaries of the Chief Minister Ladki Bahin Yojana as ineligible. This decision has been taken after it was found that these beneficiaries either receive benefits from other schemes or do not meet the eligibility criteria set by the government.
The Ladki Bahin Yojana is an initiative of the Maharashtra government aimed at providing financial assistance to young girls and women from economically backward families. Under this scheme, eligible women are provided a monthly stipend of ₹1500 to help them pursue their education, skill development, or entrepreneurship.
According to sources, the government has identified around 5 lakh beneficiaries who do not meet the eligibility criteria set by the scheme. These beneficiaries either receive benefits from other government schemes or have not provided the required documents to prove their eligibility.
However, the government has clarified that it will not take back the money already deposited into the bank accounts of these beneficiaries in the last six months. This decision has been taken to ensure that the women who have already received the benefits do not face any hardship or financial difficulties.
The move is seen as a step towards ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the scheme. By declaring these beneficiaries as ineligible, the government aims to prevent duplication of benefits and ensure that the scheme is used by the intended beneficiaries.
The Ladki Bahin Yojana was launched in 2019 with the aim of empowering young girls and women from economically backward families. The scheme provides financial assistance to eligible women to help them pursue their education, skill development, or entrepreneurship.
The scheme has been successful in empowering many women and providing them with financial independence. The government has received a positive response from the beneficiaries of the scheme, who have appreciated the financial assistance provided to them.
The decision to declare 5 lakh beneficiaries as ineligible is seen as a step towards ensuring the long-term sustainability of the scheme. By removing ineligible beneficiaries from the scheme, the government can allocate the funds to more deserving women who need financial assistance.
The government has also taken steps to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation mechanism of the scheme. This includes regular monitoring of the scheme’s progress and evaluation of its effectiveness.
The Ladki Bahin Yojana is an important initiative of the Maharashtra government aimed at empowering young girls and women from economically backward families. The government’s decision to declare 5 lakh beneficiaries as ineligible is seen as a step towards ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of the scheme.
