This scheme is getting a positive response from women across the state. This can be gauged from the fact that till now 2 crore 40 lakh women have applied from all over Maharashtra.
It is noteworthy that under this scheme, the Maharashtra government has already given money to the beneficiaries in two installments. The process of application of women for ‘Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Behan Yojana’ is going on. Although the last date for application for this scheme was 31 August, but seeing the enthusiasm of eligible women towards this scheme, the Shinde government can take a big decision.
At the same time, the main objective of the ‘Shasan Avyan Daari’ scheme is to provide the benefits of all the schemes started by the government to people of all castes and religions as well as every section of the society in the state of Maharashtra without any hindrance.
