Bhopal: Shivraj government is preparing to bring another revolutionary scheme for more than 1.25 crore beloved sisters of Madhya Pradesh. After the success of ‘Mukhyamantri Ladli Brahmin Yojana’, now the government is going to start ‘Ladli Brahmin Cow Husbandry Scheme’, under which eligible women will be given financial assistance of up to ₹ 1 lakh to buy a cow. The objective of this step is to make women economically self-reliant by connecting them with milk production business and to give a new flight to the rural economy of the state.
What is ‘Ladli Brahmin Cow Rearing Scheme’?
The monthly financial assistance provided through ‘Ladli Behna Yojana’ has already improved the lives of lakhs of women. Now, expanding this scheme, the Animal Husbandry Department is taking a new initiative. Under this scheme, women registered in Ladli Brahmin Yojana will be encouraged to take up cow rearing. The government aims to increase milk production in the state by 20 percent from the current 591 lakh liters per day. With this scheme, women will be able to earn a regular income by selling milk, which will not only empower their families but will also promote animal husbandry in rural areas on a large scale.
How will the fate of women change?
Cow rearing is a low cost and high profit business. A healthy cow of good breed can give 10 to 15 liters of milk every day, which can be easily sold in the local dairy or market. By joining this scheme, dear sisters can earn ₹ 5,000 to ₹ 10,000 extra every month while staying at home. This scheme is a golden opportunity especially for those village women who want to create a source of income along with household responsibilities. The government believes that this will not only strengthen women empowerment but will also stop migration from villages to cities.
How to get help of ₹ 1 lakh? Know the complete mathematics of subsidy and loan
Under this scheme, women will be provided direct financial assistance to buy cows, which will be a combined model of subsidy and bank loan.
- Bumper subsidy: To the beloved sisters of Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) category. 33 percent Subsidy up to Rs.

Benefits of the scheme and the way forward
This initiative will not only increase the income of women, but Madhya Pradesh will also become more self-reliant in the field of milk production.
