President Droupadi Murmu will launch the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana today at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in the national capital. The existing Ladli Scheme has been expanded and restructured into the Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana.
Under the previous structure, 11,000 rupees was deposited in the name of each eligible girl child in case of an institutional birth and 10,000 rupees in case of a home birth. Additionally, 5,000 rupees was deposited at key educational milestones, such as admission to Classes 1, 6, and 9, passing Class 10th, and admission to Class 12th. The Chief Minister clarified that under the new scheme, both the financial assistance and the overall vision have been significantly enhanced.
The scheme will benefit families with an annual income not exceeding 1.20 lakh rupees and who have been residing in Delhi for the past three years. The girl child must have been born in Delhi. The Chief Minister stated that the scheme is inspired by the broader vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which seeks to place daughters at the centre of nation-building through education, dignity, and self-reliance.
