MUMBAI: In a bid to reach out to the women voters ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly election, the Shinde Government on September 3 has taken a crucial decision allowing enrolment even in September under the ambitious Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana.
Even though the state Government has so far deposited a monthly financial aid of Rs 1,500 from July directly to the bank accounts of nearly 1.60 crore eligible women beneficiaries, the Government’s move to continue the registration is to give yet another chance for the eligible women to become part of the scheme which aims to empower and make women selfreliant.
A government resolution has been issued as the deadline for registration under the Ladki Bahin scheme was August 31. With the government resolution, the enrolment will continue in September also.
“All the eligible women beneficiaries of the state under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana can register in September also. Necessary instructions will be given from time to time regarding the registration under this scheme,” the Government resolution reads.
Women and Child Development (WCD) Minister Aditi Tatkare in her post on X said, “The revolution of women empowerment will continue for the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana. Enrollment for the scheme will continue in September.
