The Haryana Government has taken another major step toward strengthening the economic empowerment of women. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has released the second installment of the ‘Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana’, transferring nearly ₹148 crore directly into the bank accounts of 7,01,965 beneficiaries.
The announcement was made during a press briefing on Wednesday, where Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Krishna Kumar Bedi was also present.

Assistance to Be Issued Every Three Months

The Chief Minister stated that financial assistance under the scheme will now be provided every three months, and the entire three-month payment will be released in a single installment. According to him, the initiative is not just a financial aid program but a significant step toward ensuring dignity, stability, and economic independence for women.

Scheme Launch and Growing Participation

The Lado Lakshmi mobile app was launched on 25 September, on the 109th birth anniversary of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay. The first installment of the scheme was released on 1 November, which benefited thousands of women.

The Chief Minister urged all eligible women who have not yet completed their final KYC to do so at the earliest.
