Current Affairs - State - Discussion

Madhya Pradesh has launched a progressive welfare initiative aimed at reducing youth unemployment by offering monthly stipends of ₹6,000 to women and ₹5,000 to men. This scheme supports skill-building through industrial internships and enhances employability among the state’s large youth population. It is also integrated with the Ladli Behna Yojana, extending its benefits under the informal extension ‘Ladli Bhaiyo’. By involving industries in Acharpura and other regions, the scheme not only addresses financial needs but also builds a skilled workforce aligned with economic development. This gender-inclusive approach reflects Madhya Pradesh’s broader commitment to youth and employment welfare.
