To economically empower Ladli Behnas, the state government is continuously increasing the financial assistance under the scheme. More than 1.25 crore Ladli Behnas in the state are now receiving ₹1,500 every month directly in their bank accounts. The state government has also decided to provide an additional incentive of ₹5,000 to women who work in employment-oriented industries.
