Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The Ladli Lakshmi Yojana (launched in 2007 by the Madhya Pradesh government) is a universal girl-child welfare scheme. Its eligibility is based on residency, family size and family planning, the family being a non-income-tax payer, and the girl's date of birth registered at an Anganwadi centre.
It does not restrict beneficiaries by social category. Girls from the general category, other backward castes, and Scheduled Caste / Scheduled Tribe are all eligible if the family meets the common criteria. Hence the beneficiary category covers all of these groups.
