Rajshri Yojana: Govt Gives Rs 50,000 to Daughters, Eligibility & How to Apply

Rajshri Yojana: Providing equal rights for daughters in society and facilitating their education is a major responsibility of every parent and the government. Many families often struggle to advance their daughters’ education due to financial reasons. To address this problem, the Rajasthan government has launched a unique scheme called the Chief Minister’s Rajshree Scheme.

This scheme is especially for those families who are financially weak and are not able to provide good school or education facilities to their daughters. Through this scheme, the government provides financial assistance to every daughter from her birth till she completes 12th class.

When was the Chief Minister Rajshree Yojana started?

The Chief Minister’s Rajshree Scheme was launched on June 1, 2016. The aim of this scheme is not just to provide financial assistance, but to change society’s perception of daughters, empower them with education and health, and help families realize that daughters are not a burden but a significant strength in society.

Objective of the scheme

This scheme has several objectives: reducing gender inequality, preventing female foeticide and ensuring the safety of female births, helping families ensure their daughters’ education, increasing the girl child birth rate and reducing maternal mortality, and fostering a positive attitude toward daughters in society. The government believes that when families know they will receive support for their daughters’ education, they will not hesitate to send them to school.

How much money is available under the scheme and how?

Under this scheme, the Rajasthan government provides a total of Rs 50,000 in six separate installments to daughters. This is disbursed in phases over time to ensure both their education and health. The first installment is Rs 2,500 upon the birth of the daughter. The second installment is Rs 2,500 when the daughter turns one year old and is fully immunized. The third installment is Rs 4,000 when the daughter enrolls in first grade. The fourth installment is Rs 5,000 when the daughter enrolls in sixth grade. The fifth installment is Rs 11,000 when she reaches tenth grade. The sixth and final installment is Rs 25,000 when she passes 12th grade.

Who can avail the scheme?

There are certain requirements to benefit from the Mukhyamantri Rajshree Yojana. The family must be a native of Rajasthan. The daughter must have been born on or after June 1, 2016. The birth must have taken place in a government hospital or a recognized private hospital. All daughters will receive the first two installments, but the third and subsequent installments will only be given to daughters who are among the parents’ first two surviving children. The daughter must attend a government school to promote education.

Application and registration for the scheme

Registration and application for the Rajshree scheme is very easy. The first and second installments are automatically registered on the portal through the hospital at the time of the daughter’s birth, so there’s no need to fill out a separate form. The third and remaining installments are applied for through the school when the daughter is enrolled in first grade.

The required documents for application are a Bhamashah or Aadhaar card, the daughter’s birth certificate, a maternal and child health card, or a school admission certificate for subsequent installments. The bank account must be linked to Jan Aadhaar so that the funds can be transferred directly to the account. You can apply through your nearest e-Mitra center or the online portal.
