Delhi CM Defends Three-Child Limit in Lakshmi Yojana, Registration Ongoing
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta defended the three-child limit for beneficiaries of the Lakshmi Yojana, citing women's health concerns and rejecting pressures to have more children for sons. The scheme offers monthly financial aid to eligible women aged 21-60, excluding those with over three children or high household power consumption. Gupta emphasized the government's commitment to empowering women and criticized previous Congress and AAP administrations for not implementing similar support. Registration continues until 17 lakh women are covered, with the first payment expected around Raksha Bandhan.
