This announcement was made on Monday (June 16) at a public function in Belkheda village, situated 40 km from Jabalpur district headquarters. “While the Ladli Behna scheme provides ₹1,250 per month to eligible women, an additional ₹250 will be transferred next month as a ‘shagun’ on the Raksha Bandhan festival,” he stated.
