Maharashtra -Ministers Ajit Pawar and Aditi Tatkare were recently made clear that no eligible woman was excluded from the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, and that there was no change in the amount of help paid under the scheme. Their reaction comes amid reports claiming that the state government has reduced the determination of eight Lakh beneficiaries of Ladki Bahin Yojana because they also received benefits under another government scheme, Namo Shetkari Mahasanman Nidhi (NSMN). The Maharashtra, under his flagship, the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, promised £ 1,500 each month as the financial assistance to women who are eligible for the scheme.
