There is no discrimination between son and daughter in Jhabua

To change this mindset of the society, Ladli Laxmi Yojana was implemented in the state. With the scheme, daughters are now being considered a boon and not a burden. He said that to give respect to sisters, we have made 50 percent reservation for women in local bodies. The result of this is that today many of our sisters have become panch-sarpanch, district and district panchayat members and presidents.
