According to the reports, under this Ladla Bhai Yojana, students who have completed their 12th grade will receive Rs 6,000 per month stipend, while Rs 8,000 per month stipend for the students holding a diploma degree and Rs 10,000 per month for graduated boys.

"...This is the 6th or 7th attack in last months. We had heard that after demonetization, terrorism would come to an end, did it happen? Now, that the country has a strong leadership, terrorism will come to an end- the strong leader has been in power for 10 years but terrorism has not finished," said Aaditya Thackeray.
