Ladki Bahin Yojana: Complete 36-District Directory 2025

The Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana is not just a Mumbai-centric scheme; it is a ground-level revolution spanning from the coastline of Palghar to the forests of Gadchiroli. With over 2.4 Crore beneficiaries, navigating local help centers is critical. This 1200-word guide breaks down the scheme's reach by administrative region, helping you find Setu Kendras and Anganwadi hubs in your backyard.

I. Konkan Division (The Coastal Hub)

The Konkan region, including the bustling Mumbai MMR and the quiet sands of Ratnagiri, has seen the highest density of online applications.

Districts: Mumbai City, Mumbai Suburban, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg.

Regional Focus: In Mumbai and Thane, the Nari Shakti App is the primary mode. However, in Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri, many women utilize local Gram Panchayat centers due to better biometric infrastructure at the village level.

II. Paschim Maharashtra (The Prosperity Belt)

Districts like Pune and Kolhapur have pioneered "Mega Camps" (Maha-Shibir) for spot eKYC resolution.

Districts: Pune, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, Solapur.

Success Note: Pune District alone accounts for nearly 10% of the state's approvals. If you are in Solapur or Sangli, your primary contact point for Offline Form Submission is the Anganwadi superviser at the ward level.

III. Marathwada & North Maharashtra (Developing Fronts)

These regions have faced challenges with Aadhaar-Bank mismatches, leading to a focus on NPCI Seeding camps.

Marathwada: Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Parbhani, Hingoli, Nanded, Beed, Latur, Dharashiv.
Khandesh: Nashik, Ahmednagar, Jalgaon, Dhule, Nandurbar.

Tribal Outreach: In Nandurbar and Gadchiroli, the government has deployed mobile "Ladki Bahin Vans" equipped with satellite internet to process eKYC for those in remote hills.

IV. Vidarbha (The Powerhouse)

The Nagpur and Amravati divisions have seen massive participation from agricultural labor women.

Districts: Nagpur, Wardha, Bhandara, Gondia, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, Amravati, Akola, Yavatmal, Buldhana, Washim.

Administrative Tip: If your Payment Status shows "Awaiting District Verification," Vidarbha beneficiaries should visit the CDPO (Child Development Project Officer) office at the Taluka level for faster redressal.

V. Local Help Center Hierarchy

Knowing where to go can save you hours of travel. Follow this hierarchy:

Level Facility Services
Village Anganwadi Center Form filling, Basic doubt clearing.
Town Setu Kendra (CSC) Biometric eKYC, Bank seeding forms.
Taluka Tahsildar Office Appeal against rejection, Income cert.

VI. FAQ: Regional Queries

I am from Maharashtra but living in Karnataka. Can I apply?

A: The scheme is strictly for residents currently staying in Maharashtra. However, if you have a valid Maharashtra Domicile and your family resides here, you can apply from your home district using your local address proof. Refer to Eligibility Proofs.

Can I change my district in the application later?

A: Yes, but it requires a 'Correction Request' to be approved by the Tahsildar of your previous district. It is better to apply with the address mentioned in your updated Aadhaar.
