The Haryana government has taken a big step towards women’s financial empowerment. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini launched the Deendayal Lado Laxmi Yojana at Indradhanush Stadium in Panchkula. Under this scheme, about 21 lakh eligible women in the state will get a monthly allowance of ₹2,100.

Women don’t need to visit any government office to get the benefits. They can register directly through the Deendayal Lado Laxmi mobile app launched by the government.

The scheme was started on the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay. Chief Minister Saini was joined by Minister Krishna Kumar Bedi. The government said that this scheme will help empower women and improve their families’ financial condition.

The Haryana government has set aside an annual budget of ₹5,000 crore for the scheme. Around ₹415 crore will be sent directly to women’s bank accounts every month.

What did Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini say?

Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini said that this scheme is not just about financial help, but also about the dignity and self-reliance of women. He said that women in Haryana are doing well in every field, from farming to education, sports, and jobs. He added that it is the government’s duty to give them social security. Social Justice Minister Krishna Kumar Bedi said that this is a historic step and it will help millions of women from poor families take care of their families better.
