To strengthen the education, health, and social security of girls, the central and state governments are continuously implementing new schemes. As part of these efforts, the Rajasthan government launched the Chief Minister Rajshree Yojana, which provides financial assistance from the birth of a girl child until she completes the 12th grade. The main objective of this scheme is to prevent female feticide, improve the sex ratio, and empower girls.

The Chief Minister Rajshree Yojana was launched by the Rajasthan government in 2016. Under this scheme, eligible girls in the state receive a total financial assistance of β‚Ή50,000. This amount is not given as a lump sum, but in six installments at different educational and health milestones. This assistance provided by the government is directly transferred to the beneficiary’s bank account, ensuring transparency.

Objective and Importance of the Scheme
