Ladli Bahan Yojna- A Thorn In The Throat?

In the realm of governance and welfare, the Ladali Bahan Yojana emerges as a double-edged sword, intricately woven into the fabric of society. What was intended as a beacon of hope for women, granting them financial assistance and empowerment, has instead morphed into a source of contention, akin to a thorn lodged in one’s throat source says. The initiative, with its noble intentions, promised to uplift countless lives, yet it now serves as a reminder of the intricate challenges that accompany such ambitious endeavours. From the jubilant dreams of women stepping into newfound independence, to the harsh reality of bureaucratic red tape and systemic hurdles, the journey has become fraught with obstacles. Thus, the very essence of the program meant to nurture and support has turned into a struggle, casting a shadow over its potential to bring forth genuine change source says.  

While the Ladali Bahan Yojana was envisioned as a catalyst for empowerment, it stands as a painful reminder of the complexities that lie beneath the surface of social reform, echoing the sentiments of those who find themselves grappling with its unintended consequences. The result will be severe during the BMC elections, which are to take place soon after directives from the court source said. The BMC election is likely to bring two Thackrey together and it's also rumoured that both the Pawars likely to join hands for the elections source says. Though Ladali Bahan Yojna was announced by the previous BJP government it was promised that if the BJP returns to power the amount will be increased to Rs 2100 from Rs 1500 to the lady head of the family source says. 

In the current budget, there is no mention of an increase rather list of claimants has been pruned to 2.46 crore from 2.63 crores source says. Many reasons are coming out for the reductions but this is going to directly hit the chances in BMC sources say because women always played a very significant role in the BMC elections. The Jharkhand government as promised is paying Rs 2100 under ‘Maiya Samman Yojana’ source says.
