Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has said Himachal Pradesh will roll out the Mukhyamantri Ka Apna Parivar Sukhi Parivar Yojana next month. Eligible women from poor families will get Rs 1,500 each month under it. Women between 21 and 59 years qualify, and a household with three eligible women will see all three paid. Sukhu said the families would also have 300 units of free electricity and free medical treatment.
