In recent days, the Maharashtra government has been actively depositing funds into the bank accounts of eligible women under the "Mukhymantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana" scheme. As of now, Rs 3,000 has been credited to the bank accounts of 80 lakh women. Additionally, the government has extended this benefit to another 16 lakh eligible women. This information was provided by Aditi Tatkare, Minister of Women and Child Development.
The transfer of benefits under the scheme is progressing at a rapid pace. As of this morning, Rs 3,000 has been deposited into the accounts of 16,35,000 beneficiaries. Prior to this, the direct benefit transfer to 80 lakh women’s accounts was completed. In total, 96,35,000 women have successfully received benefits from the scheme, according to Aditi Tatkare.
