The pessimistic philosophy of culture across regions is the primary explanation for the majority of incidents of female infanticide that inevitably contribute to a falling sex ratio in India. The Government agreed to introduce a scheme named Ladli Laxmi Yojana as a remedy to this concern, which will promote consciousness of positive thought about a girl's birth, education and health.

About Ladli Laxmi Yojana

By the government of Madhya Pradesh in 2007, Ladli Laxmi Yojana was founded with the aim to bring a transition in society's derogatory attitude to the conception of a girl child. In contrast, the major aim was to enhance the girls' sex ratio, schooling and living standards. Other states have also introduced and enforced the same for the empowerment of girls after the scheme's ultimate effectiveness. The Ladli Laxmi Yojana was identified by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on May 2nd, 2007. In the non-tax paying families and female infants, the programme supports the girl children born on or after January 1, 2006.

Key takeaways of Ladli Laxmi Yojana

In order to create a better model for the development of a girl's child in India, Ladli Laxmi Yojana was identified. The aims are to strengthen the educational and social standing of the identified girl child's family in order to bring meaningful improvements in societal attitudes.

The approach emphasises on girls' education and facilitates financial support for them.
Educational costs will help all the girls enrolled under this arrangement so that her parents are capable of sending her to school. The girls who quit school, though, will not be eligible to reap the benefits of this plan.
Rs. 1 Lakh is given by the government to the individual's family for her marriage.
Under the Ladli Laxmi Yojana, girls who are married before the age of 18 will not get benefits.
National Savings Certificates (NSC) worth Rs.6000/- are purchased annually by the state government on behalf of the girl after her conception. For five straight years, the acquisition of NSC will proceed until the overall amount reaches Rs.30,000.
The girl child enrolled under this scheme can earn a certain amount of money when promoted to class VI (Rs.2,000), class IX (Rs 4,000), class XI (Rs.6,000) and XII (Rs.6,000).
