Maharashtra Government Revamps Women and Child Welfare Schemes, Discontinues Four Programs
The Maharashtra government is revamping its Women and Child Development Department's welfare schemes to simplify procedures, reduce paperwork, and minimize delays. Following recommendations from the State Governance Process Re-engineering Committee, four schemes have been discontinued to avoid duplication and improve resource use. Several services will be removed from the Aaple Sarkar portal, with key programs like Lek Ladki Yojana and Krantijyoti Savitribai Phule Bal Sangopan Yojana moving online via the MahaDBT portal. The overhaul includes increased use of digital platforms and updated operational guidelines.
