Chief Minister  Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that social, economic and political empowerment of women is taking place in Madhya Pradesh. There was a time when girl child was considered a burden in the family, today she has become a boon. Ladli Laxmi Yojana has helped 44 lakh 90 thousand girls of the state to become millionaires. Under the Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana, the government gets poor girls married. Women have been politically empowered by the 50 percent reservation in local body elections. Mukhya Mantri Ladli Bahna Yojana will make them financially empowered. Due to the provision of exemption in stamp duty to women, today 45 percent land is being registered in the name of women.

Chief Minister  Chouhan attended the Ladli Bahna Sammelan at Sitamau in Mandsaur district today. He also distributed benefits to the beneficiaries under various schemes.

Chief Minister  Chouhan said that nowadays some people are trying to mislead the public by making fake schemes. People should stay away from such thugs and not fall in their trap. The previous government made farmers defaulters in the name of loan waiver. Our government is paying their interest amount so that they can get the benefit of the government’s crop loan scheme at zero percent interest. Forms will be filled from May 14 to waive the interest of the farmers. The government has made a provision of Rs 2400 crore in the budget for this scheme.

The water of Gandhi Sagar dam will reach each and every farm in the district. All round progress and development is our goal.

Chief Minister  Chouhan said that a campaign to change the lives of the people is going on in the state. The government is concerned about everyone including the farmers, the poor, the artisans and the youth. The era of new culture is beginning in the state, in which the public and the government are working together. He stressed on formation of Ladli Bahna Sena in every village, which would implement schemes related to women.
