Time worked out from the lesson's 406 words at 150 words a minute, plus a minute for each question.
These questions test your knowledge of scheme names, launch dates, eligibility criteria, benefit amounts, and the target beneficiaries. The Madhya Pradesh government has launched numerous flagship schemes, with Ladli Behna Yojana becoming particularly prominent since 2023.
Key ideas
- Ladli Behna Yojana targets married women aged 21-60 years from economically weaker sections, providing monthly financial assistance directly to their bank accounts through DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer).
- Mukhyamantri Kanyadan Yojana supports marriage expenses for daughters of poor families, widows, destitute women, and laborers registered under specific welfare boards.
- Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana is an umbrella scheme for unorganized sector workers, covering accident insurance, education assistance, and utility bill subsidies.
- Mukhyamantri Kisan Kalyan Yojana provides additional income support to farmers already enrolled under PM-KISAN, making it a state-level top-up scheme.
- DBT (Direct Benefit Transfer) is the common delivery mechanism across all major schemes, eliminating middlemen and ensuring money reaches beneficiaries directly.
Watch out for
- Confusing Ladli Behna with Ladli Laxmi → Ladli Behna targets married adult women with monthly cash transfer; Ladli Laxmi targets girl children from birth with insurance-linked savings for education and marriage. Different schemes, different beneficiaries.
- Mixing up benefit amounts → Students often interchange ₹1,000 and ₹1,250 for Ladli Behna. Remember: initially ₹1,000, later increased to ₹1,250. Always note the current amount for exams.
- Forgetting Sambal is an umbrella scheme → Sambal is not just accident insurance; it includes electricity subsidy, education assistance, and other benefits. Questions may ask about any component.
