In Uttar Pradesh, the government has started the ‘Mukhya Mantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana‘ under ‘Mission Shakti 5.0’. Under this scheme, financial assistance is being provided from the birth of the daughter till she grows up. At the time of the launch of this scheme, the UP government had ensured an amount of Rs 15,000. But last year it was increased to Rs 25,000. This will make the dreams of daughters come true and will give a new direction to the society.
This scheme provides financial assistance to families with girl children, disbursed in six installments based on specific milestones. It encourages education and self-reliance among girls by providing lump-sum financial incentives.
