Uttarakhand Vaishnavi Suraksha Yojana 2026 Apply Form for New Born Girls

Uttarakhand government runs Vaishnavi Suraksha Yojana for newborn girl children under the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign. Families who share a selfie with their newborn daughter at the local Anganwadi centre get a free Vaishnavi kit, a congratulatory message from district officials, and insurance cover for the parents. Department for Women and Child Development, Uttarakhand looks after the scheme on the ground, and Anganwadi and ANM workers act as the main point of contact for families.

Scheme was designed mainly to improve the sex ratio in hill and rural districts of Uttarakhand, with special focus on BPL families. There is no fresh state notification revising this scheme for 2026, so families are advised to confirm current status and toll free number with their nearest Anganwadi centre or district Women and Child Development office before applying, since some older helpline details may have changed.

To improve the sex ratio in Uttarakhand, state government started Vaishnavi Suraksha Yojana under the central government's Beti Bachao Beti Padhao campaign.

Infants, particularly girls born in BPL families, can get scheme benefits, and mothers who give birth to a girl child receive a Vaishnavi Suraksha Kit soon after delivery.
