Which department of the Government of Madhya Pradesh implements the Ladli Laxmi and Ladli Behna schemes?
- A.Department of Panchayat and Rural Development
- B.Department of Women and Child Development
- C.Department of Social Justice
- D.Department of School Education
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, the Department of Women and Child Development. Both schemes are run by this department, which uses its anganwadi network and project offices to register beneficiaries, verify eligibility and handle grievances, and both have their own portals under it. Option A, Panchayat and Rural Development, runs rural employment, rural housing and panchayat works, and it only lends its gram panchayat machinery for the application camps. Option C, Social Justice, handles pensions, disability welfare and the care of senior citizens, a related but different mandate. Option D, School Education, matters to Ladli Laxmi only because the instalments are paid on admission to Classes 6, 9, 11 and 12, and it certifies that admission, but it does not administer the scheme. Match a scheme to the department whose field staff does the verification.
