The state government may revive the Ladli Behna online portal to extend benefits to women who were previously left out, a minister indicated.
The Madhya Pradesh government is considering reopening the Ladli Behna portal, a digital platform that administers financial assistance to girl children and women from economically weaker sections. The portal was earlier restricted, leaving a segment of eligible women without access to the scheme's benefits.
A senior minister from the state hinted that the administration will address this gap by allowing the excluded beneficiaries to register and claim entitlements through the revived portal. No specific timeline was provided, but the statement suggests that the decision is under active review.
If reinstated, the portal is expected to streamline applications, disbursements and monitoring, thereby reducing delays that have plagued the scheme in the past. Officials said they will issue detailed guidelines once the reopening plan is finalized.
The move aligns with the broader objective of the Ladli Behna scheme, which aims to improve the socio‑economic status of girls by providing cash incentives at various stages of their childhood and adolescence.
