Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that all possible assistance will be provided to the girls connected with Ladli Laxmi Yojana from college studies to getting jobs. He said that he promised that this Mama of Ladli Laxmis will stand with them at every turn of life.
Necessary arrangements will be made to make the daughters self-sufficient under the Ladli Laxmi Yojana, which was started to eradicate the discrimination existing in the society about son and daughter.
Chouhan distributed scholarship amount from Mantralaya to the beneficiary girls of the scheme and also interacted with them. Chouhan gave scholarships amounting to Rs 27 crore 90 lakh to 95,434 girls. Along with this, Ladli certificates were also distributed to 69,337 new girls.
The Chief Minister said that there was a time when people wished for a son. The son was considered the support of old age and the daughter as a burden. To change this thinking and to develop the spirit of considering the daughter as a boon, Ladli Laxmi Yojana was started. The idea was that as soon as a daughter is born, she should be guaranteed to have a lakh rupees and this scheme should be such that it should also be associated with education so that parents make special efforts to educate their daughters. While encouraging the daughters, Chouhan asked them to set goals in life. Chouhan also urged the parents to give a lot of love and affection to their daughters and motivate daughters to make their own decisions.
Chouhan held virtual talks with Kumari Saira Khan of Betul, Kumari Muskan Raikwar of Sehore, Kumari Anku Mishra of Rewa, Kumari Shina Dhyani of Anuppur. Along with this, certificates were given digitally to Kanushree of Sehore, Kinaz of Rewa, Km. Swara of Dhar, Anabiya of Anuppur and Tanvi of Betul.
In his interaction with the daughters, Chouhan while motivating them said that I want to see the daughters becoming collectors, doctors, engineers. He said that discipline is the basis of success. You set your goal, make a roadmap and set a time-table daily and follow it. I make my time-table every day even today and complete the work of the whole day according to it.
The Chief Minister told Sehore's Muskan Raikwar that you always keep smiling. When Muskan expressed her desire to become a doctor, Chouhan said that you should clear NEET. Keep faith and have courage, you will definitely reach the destination.
Anku Mishra of Rewa while expressing gratitude to Chouhan for helping with Ladli Laxmi Yojana said that it is thanks to Mama who has run such a scheme for us. Anku's father is a farmer and she wants to become a police officer. Chouhan suggested Km. Anku to focus on PT, sports and exercise from now on.
Chouhan told Saira Khan of Betul that you clear NEET, I will get you MBBS done. Saira's father is a labour, she is in 12th standard and wants to become a doctor. Chief Minister Shri Chouhan told Saira that the 12th board exam is the basis of life ahead. Take it seriously.
