The Ladli Laxmi Yojana of Madhya Pradesh was launched in which year?
- A.2005
- B.2006
- C.2007
- D.2010
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is C, 2007. The Government of Madhya Pradesh launched the Ladli Laxmi Yojana on 1 April 2007 to improve the sex ratio and to strengthen the position of the girl child in the family, and the Department of Women and Child Development has run it since through anganwadi centres. Option A, 2005, is the year of several other state welfare measures but not of this scheme. Option B, 2006, is a trap of two kinds: the Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana dates from 2006, and the scheme's eligibility rule speaks of girls born after 1 January 2006, so candidates confuse the birth cut-off with the launch year. Option D, 2010, is far too late; by 2010 the scheme had already been running for three years and other states had begun to copy it. Remember the pair: birth after 1 January 2006, scheme from 1 April 2007.
