Plea in M.P. High Court seeks closure of Ladli Behna scheme over its financial cost; notice issued to government
An application filed in the Madhya Pradesh High Court asks the court to terminate the Ladli Behna scheme, arguing that the monthly ₹1,500 benefit is inadequate for household needs and that no study demonstrates lasting financial gains for women. The petition also cites the program’s high fiscal burden, and a notice has been issued to the state government to respond.
