Rajshree Yojana: The government runs several schemes to provide financial support to families from the birth of a daughter to her education. One such scheme is the Rajasthan government’s Chief Minister Rajshree Yojana. Under this scheme, a total of Rs 50,000 is provided from the birth of a daughter until she completes 12th grade.

The Chief Minister’s Rajshree Yojana was launched in Rajasthan because many areas previously faced problems such as gender imbalance and female foeticide. Rajasthan was no exception. The government’s goal is to encourage the birth of daughters, encourage them to continue their education, and foster a positive mindset in families.

The Chief Minister’s Rajshree Scheme has been in effect since June 1, 2016. Under this scheme, a total of ₹50,000 is provided from the birth of a girl child until she completes 12th grade. This amount is not given all at once, but in six installments. Each installment is tied to a significant milestone in the girl’s life and education.

This scheme is only available to permanent residents of Rajasthan. The girl child must have been born after June 1, 2016. Furthermore, the birth must have taken place in a registered hospital or health center. Only after meeting these conditions are the scheme installments received. Certain documents are required for the application. These include the girl’s birth certificate, Aadhaar card or Bhamashah card, mother and child health cards, and school admission documents. All documents must be correct and up-to-date to avoid any problems during the application process.

Under the Rajshree scheme, funds are disbursed in installments. The first installment of Rs. 2,500 is given at birth. The second installment of Rs. 2,500 is given upon reaching one year of age and completing vaccinations. Rs. 4,000 is given upon admission to Class 1, Rs. 5,000 for Class 6, Rs. 11,000 for Class 10, and the final installment of Rs. 25,000 is given upon passing Class 12.

Applications for this scheme can be made through the online portal. Alternatively, applications can also be made by visiting the office of the Women and Child Development Department. After submitting an application, documents are verified, and if eligible, installments are transferred directly to the bank account.
