General201811 sections

This law provides a statutory framework for the Ladli Laxmi scheme in Madhya Pradesh, aimed at encouraging female child welfare and education. It applies to eligible girl children born to permanent residents of the state who do not pay income tax, have adopted family planning after their second child, and enroll the child in a local Anganwadi centre. Registered beneficiaries receive scheduled financial grants totaling one hundred and eighteen thousand rupees, distributed across school admissions and upon turning twenty-one years old. This Act matters because it addresses gender disparity, reduces child marriage, promotes female literacy, and secures financial independence for women.
