President Droupadi Murmu will launch the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana today at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in the national capital. The existing Ladli Scheme has been expanded and restructured into the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana.
Under the previous structure, 11 thousand rupees was deposited in the name of each eligible girl child in case of an institutional birth and ten thousand rupees in case of a home birth. Additionally, five thousand rupees was deposited at key educational milestones admission to Classes one, six and nine, passing Class 10th, and admission to Class 12th. The Chief Minister clarified that under the new scheme, both the financial assistance and the overall vision have been significantly enhanced.
The scheme will benefit families with an annual income not exceeding 1 lakh 20 thousand rupees and who have been residing in Delhi for the past three years. The girl child must have been born in Delhi. The Chief Minister stated that the scheme is inspired by the broader vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which seeks to place daughters at the centre of nation-building through education, dignity and self-reliance.
