The Delhi Government will restructure an existing initiative aimed at promoting the education of girls from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and provide increased financial support of ₹56,000 per beneficiary in a phased manner starting in April, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced on Tuesday (February 10, 2026).

The ‘Delhi Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana’, which replaces the 2008 ‘Delhi Ladli Scheme’, will support girls from birth to graduation, said the Chief Minister.
“This scheme, which is very close to my heart, will ensure that every daughter gets an opportunity to fulfil her potential. This is our investment in the future of our girls,” she said.
Ms. Gupta said when the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in Delhi, it found that more than 1.86 lakh dormant accounts with a total of ₹190 crore were unclaimed under the Ladli scheme.
