The Uttar Pradesh Government has come up with a unique initiative to make your daughter’s future bright. Under the Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana, the government will provide financial assistance at different stages at different stages of your daughter’s life. You can use these amounts as and when required or invest in a scheme or FD (Fixed Deposit) for your daughter’s future.
This scheme has been started by the Uttar Pradesh government and aims to help families with the expenses from the birth of daughters to their education. Let us first know how much amount you will get and when so that you can plan your daughter’s future better.
Total assistance of ₹25,000
A total assistance amount of ₹25,000 will be provided under the Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana, which will be given in installments at different stages of the daughters’ lives:
First of all, an amount of ₹5,000 will be given on the birth of the daughter. This amount helps in the initial upbringing expenses of the daughter.
After this, as the daughter reaches different classes, she will continue to get financial help:
On admission to first class.
On admission to sixth class.
On admission to the ninth class.
Then, on reaching 12th class, she will be given an amount of ₹7,000. This amount can be used for her further studies or higher education. Thus, you will get a total assistance of ₹25,000 from the government. Earlier, an amount of ₹ 15,000 was given under this scheme, but now it has been increased to ₹ 25,000, which is a big incentive.
