Shivraj's Ladli Laxmi Yojana was a blessing for the girl child and changed the mindset of the people who considered girls as burden. Now sweets are distributed in villages on birth of girl child. The Kanya Vivah and Nikah Yojana of the CM made it easier for people of economically poor background to marry off their daughters. Lakhs of couples in the state are getting married at mass wedding ceremonies.
