The Haryana government has launched the Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at empowering women and ensuring their financial independence. Named after the revered social reformer Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay, this scheme represents a significant step toward women's economic empowerment and social security in the state.
This welfare program was first announced during the BJP's 2024 election manifesto and has now become a reality for the women of Haryana. The scheme focuses on providing direct financial assistance to economically weaker women, enabling them to lead dignified and independent lives.
Lado Lakshmi Yojana Launch Date
The Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana was officially launched on September 25, 2025, coinciding with the birth anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay. The Department of Social Justice & Empowerment, Government of Haryana, is responsible for implementing this ambitious scheme.
The state government has allocated a substantial budget of ₹5,000 crore for the fiscal year 2025-26, demonstrating its commitment to women's welfare. The scheme is being implemented in a phased manner to ensure smooth rollout and maximum reach to eligible beneficiaries across all districts of Haryana.
Key Benefits of Lado Lakshmi Yojana
Financial Assistance
The cornerstone of this scheme is the monthly financial benefit of ₹2,100 provided directly to eligible women. This amount is transferred directly to the beneficiary's bank account through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system using the Public Financial Management System (PFMS), ensuring transparency and eliminating any intermediaries.
The regular monthly payments provide a stable source of income, helping women meet their daily needs, contribute to household expenses, and gain financial autonomy.
Additional Benefits
Beyond monetary assistance, the scheme offers several other advantages. It promotes financial independence, allowing women to make their own economic decisions. The scheme provides social security coverage to economically weaker sections of society and supports both married and unmarried women equally.
One notable feature is that multiple women from the same family can apply if they meet the eligibility criteria. Additionally, beneficiaries who complete the scheme or reach the age limit of 60 years are automatically transitioned to other relevant old age pension schemes, ensuring continuous support.
