Vivah shagun yojna: According to Indian tradition, getting married is usually considered a little expense. Especially in the marriage of daughters, many families are often submerged in debt. Keeping this in mind, the Haryana government has taken another big step for the economically weaker sections of the society. From now on, the assistance amount given under the Chief Minister Vivah Shagun Yojana has been increased by Rs 10,000.

That is, backward classes and needy families will now get a assistance of Rs 51,000 on the daughter’s wedding. Earlier, the beneficiaries used to get assistance of ₹ 41,000, but with the approval of the new proposal by the Chief Minister, this decision will now be implemented.

Who will get the benefit of this scheme?

Explain that this assistance amount is given as “Kanyadaan” and its benefit will be available only to those families whose annual income is up to Rs 1.80 lakh. This decision of the government will provide economic relief to thousands of poor and backward classes. This step will further strengthen schemes like ‘Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao’ of the government and will contribute to the honor and upliftment of daughters.

The government has also clarified that it will be mandatory to register marriage within six months from the date of marriage to take advantage of this scheme. This will not only bring transparency in the system but will also stop social evils like child marriage. Ensuring legal registration of marriage has now become an important condition of this scheme.

The process of application of the scheme has also been made very simple and online. Interested beneficiaries can apply for the Chief Minister Vivah Shagun Yojana by visiting the portal http://shadi.edisha.gov.in.
