Ladki Bahin Yojana: Minister Aditi Tatkare’s Message

Aditi Tatkare clarified that it is mandatory for all beneficiary women to complete their e-KYC within the next two months. Failure to do so could hinder the distribution of the Samman Nidhi. Therefore, she urged all women to complete this process as soon as possible to ensure continued benefits.

Ladki Bahin Yojana: A Step for Women’s Self-Respect and Empowerment

Minister Tatkare stated that the Ladki Behen Yojana symbolizes a revolution in the confidence and empowerment of the mothers and sisters of the state. The “Samman Nidhi” provided under this scheme not only supports women financially but also strengthens their social and educational empowerment and self-respect. This amount is deposited directly into bank accounts, ensuring hassle-free access to the beneficiaries.

Ladki Bahin Yojana: E-KYC Mandatory, Camps Required in Rural Areas

Under the scheme, economically weaker women aged 21 to 60 will receive a Samman Nidhi of Rs. 1,500 per month directly into their bank accounts. However, due to lack of digital literacy and internet access, some women are unable to complete the e-KYC process. To address this challenge, women’s savings groups, social workers, and local NGOs are requesting the administration to organize e-KYC camps in villages. This will enable every eligible woman to easily avail the benefits of the scheme.

The Ladki Behen Yojana is not only a financial support for women in Maharashtra, but also a symbol of their self-respect and social empowerment. The timely transfer of the September installment demonstrates the scheme’s transparency and effectiveness.
