I came to know that to combat child marriage and female foeticide, the state of Madhya Pradesh offers financial assistance to households with one or more girl children who are required to attend Anganwadi schools.
The Madhya Pradesh state government’s “Ladli Laxmi Yojana” aims to improve the health and educational status of girls in the state.
Following approval, Rs 6,000 worth of National Saving Certificates (NSC) will be obtained in the name of the female child every year for the next five years. Excellent news in my views!!
- One other condition it has is the parents should be a native of Madhya Pradesh and are not paying taxes.
- The beneficiary have to attend the Anganwadi center regularly.
