Maharashtra Chief Minister announces 'Ladla Bhai Yojana' scheme for youth
After launching the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Yojana earlier this month with an aim to empower the women in the state by providing them with financial support, the Government of Maharashtra has launched the ‘Ladla Bhai Yojana’ to benefit youths.
However, the Chief Minister has clarified that even though Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Yojana is aimed to benefit girls, the ‘Ladla Bhai Yojana’ is not exclusively for men.

Benefits of Ladla Bhai Yojana

The scheme aims to benefit youths who have qualified in the 12th board examination in the state. Under this scheme, students who have qualified the board exams will receive Rs 6,000 per month. Additionally, those with a diploma will be given Rs 8,000 monthly, while graduates will be provided with Rs 10,000 per month. Not only this, under this scheme, young job seekers will receive apprenticeships in factories, and a stipend from the state government during their on-job training in the industry.
Unemployed youths would also be able to get job training in the industrial, non-industrial, government and semi-government establishments under the scheme and while they are being trained as per a resolution issued by the state. These youths will get a stipend between Rs 6,000 to Rs 10,000 per month.

The CM says

“Some people are saying that ‘Majhi Ladki Yojana’ (for women) has been launched; what about ‘Ladka Bhau’ (brother)? We are now announcing a scheme for Ladka Bhau. They will receive this stipend from the government during their on-job training in the industry,” Chief Minister Eknath Shinde told the media.
“This is the first time in history that the state government has started such a scheme,” he further said.
Political analysts are calling the Ladla Bhai Yojana scheme launch a well-timed move ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections which are scheduled to be held later this year.

What is Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Yojana

The Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Yojana scheme has recently been launched by the Maharashtra Government to empower women in the state by providing them with financial support. Under the scheme, the government will provide Rs 1,500 monthly to women in the state. The scheme is applicable to the women aged 21 to 65 residing in Maharashtra through the virtue of birth or because of marriage with the annual family income less than Rs 2.5 lakhs.
Apart from the monthly financial assistance, the scheme also provides three free LPG cylinders annually to the beneficiaries, and waives off the tuition fees for girls pursuing higher education in Maharashtra. Taking into consideration the high demand for registration under this scheme, the application deadline for the same has been extended to 31st August 2024. This extension is aimed at accommodating more applicants and ensuring that everyone benefits from the scheme.

CSR Project Transforms lives of over 700 rural women in Marwar Mundwa with Successful SHGs
Ambuja Cements, the cement and building material company of the diversified Adani Portfolio, is committed to empowering rural women through the setting up of 70 self-help groups (SHGs) near its Marwar Mundwa plant. Through CSR efforts, 787 women from this rural region have begun their journeys towards self-reliance and financial independence.
Ambuja Cements’ CSR teams have been fostering women-run SHGs in the remotest areas around Marwar Mundwa, by encouraging them to save money, both collectively and individually, as well as engaging in income-generating activities.
These women members began with a modest monthly saving of ₹20 each and have now reached a substantial corpus of ₹84.82 lakh, which they utilise for funding various micro-enterprises. Each SHG has an average credit availability of ₹1.21 lakh, supported by a revolving fund of ₹6.05 lakh and an internal lending rate of 74.13% of the corpus.
Despite societal norms and financial constraints, these rural women were resolute in their pursuit of economic improvement and better futures for their children. CSR teams organised monthly meetings and trainings for the members on various business aspects, enabling them to start and manage businesses effectively. Many women engaged in diverse income-generating activities, including agriculture, animal husbandry, vegetable and provision stores, beauty parlours, tailoring, handicrafts, oil mills, flour mills, goat rearing, and rural startups.
The collective efforts of the SHG members led to the formation of the ‘Maru Shree Vikas Samiti’ a federation that markets traditional spices and other products produced by rural women. It serves as a market linkage platform, creating business opportunities and supporting women in their specific areas. The CSR teams have also helped women members avail various State and Central Government benefit schemes.
The SHGs also promote education, particularly for girls, and address health issues like malnutrition and infant mortality. The SHG women’s encouragement to their daughters to pursue higher education has significantly improved education levels in the region.
These comprehensive CSR interventions from Ambuja Cements have transformed the lives of rural women in Marwar Mundwa, setting a benchmark for sustainable and inclusive community development. Ambuja Cements is committed to enhancing the economic and social status of rural women, ensuring a brighter and more equitable future for all.
