Ladli Laxmi Yojana is a scheme introduced by Government of Madhya Pradesh with the objective to lay a firm foundation of girls’ future through improvement in their educational and economic status and to bring about a positive change in social attitude towards birth of a girl. The scheme was inaugurated by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan in 2007,[1] which was followed by expansion to six additional states including Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Goa[2].

Under the scheme the government purchases National Savings Certificate of ₹6,000 each year for five years and these would be renewed from time to time. At the time of girl's admission in the sixth standard, ₹2,000 and on admission in the ninth standard ₹4,000 would be paid to the girl. When she gets admitted in the 11th standard she would receive ₹7,500. During her higher secondary education, she would get ₹200 every month. On completion of 21 years she would receive the remaining amount, which would be more than ₹1 lakh.[3]
