At the time of nomination for class 1st, 6th, 9th and 11th, the financial amount would be given through DBT directly into the bank accounts of girls. This scheme will reduce the drop out rate of the girl child, curb child marriage and would also reduce corruption.
By providing the girls with financial aid, the govt. will ensure the better upbringing of girls. Financial incentives would be given to those who completed their 18 years of age without marriage. This is an important step to curb child marriage which will lead to the social upliftment of women.
