Earlier in the day, CM Yadav extended greetings to all the residents of the state and ladli Behans for the upcoming festival Rakshabandhan and highlighted about depositing an additional Rs 250 as Rakhi Shagun along with monthly aid of Ladli behna Yojana.
"I extend heartfelt wishes for the holy festival of Rakshabandhan to all the residents of the state and to all Ladli behans. On this occasion, the state government is depositing an additional amount of Rs 250 into the accounts of Ladli Behnas for Rakshabandhan, apart from the Rs 1250 they are already receiving. This means they will receive a total of Rs 1500 this month. I appeal to all the sisters: with this Rs 250, you can buy a gift for yourself or anything else. It is my gesture of love and my emotion towards the sisters of the state. I hope that we will receive the blessing of our ladli," CM Yadav said.
He further stressed that the state government would gradually increase the monthly aid of ladli Behna yojana to Rs 3000 in the next three years.
"After Bhai Dooj means post Diwali this year, we will raise it to Rs 1500 a month. We are implementing employment schemes for sisters, offering job opportunities. If a sister finds work in the readymade garments industry, the government provides Rs 5,000-6,000 per sister. We also offer training where needed. Through this women empowerment scheme, we aim to improve their lives," he added.
