Along with this, by adding the interest received in different stages, the daughter will get total assistance of up to Rs 1 lakh.
20 thousand rupees to daughters after graduation
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that the objective of this scheme is not only to provide financial help, but also to make the daughters self-reliant and pursue their education without any hindrance. Under the scheme, assistance will be given at various stages from the birth of the daughter to her education. The special thing is that after completing graduation, daughters will be given an additional amount of Rs 20 thousand, so that they can start further studies or career.
Budget of Rs 160 crore for daughters
Delhi government will spend a total of Rs 160 crore on this scheme. Two daughters of a family will get the benefit of this scheme. The government believes that this will promote positive thinking towards daughters and families will become more aware about the education and future of their daughters.
Ladli Beti Yojana was started in the year 2008
It is noteworthy that Ladli Beti Yojana was started in the year 2008 for the education and welfare of daughters.
