Solapur, Sept. 6 -- State authorities have initiated a comprehensive door-to-door verification exercise for 26.30 lakh women beneficiaries under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana who allegedly received benefits despite failing to meet the scheme's eligibility criteria.
The verification process has been assigned to Anganwadi workers across the state, with Solapur district alone accounting for 1,04,531 women whose eligibility status requires scrutiny.
The extensive verification drive has been launched following revelations from the Information Technology Department that identified a significant number of ineligible beneficiaries receiving the monthly financial assistance of Rs 1,500.
