A Generous Raksha Bandhan Bonus-This year’s installment wasn’t just the usual amount. Each of the 1.27 crore women beneficiaries received an additional ₹250 as a Raksha Bandhan gift, on top of the regular ₹1250, totaling ₹1500.

This holistic approach addresses multiple facets of financial well-being for women and vulnerable groups.
Empowering Women, Transforming Lives-Launched in June 2023, the Ladli Behna Yojana is more than just a financial aid program. It’s a powerful tool for women’s economic independence.
