There is good news for the families of poor and needy daughters living in Uttar Pradesh. The Yogi government has increased the financial assistance given for marriage under the Chief Minister Mass Marriage Scheme from ₹ 51,000 to a full ₹ 1 lakh. This scheme is a big support for those families who are worried about the expenses of their daughters’ marriage.
But to avail the benefit of this scheme, there are some essential conditions which have to be fulfilled. Let us know the full details of this scheme and the application process in detail so that no eligible family is deprived of this golden opportunity.
UP government’s historic decision
The governments of different states of the country run many schemes for the people of their respective states. People from different sections of the society get the benefit of these government schemes. Uttar Pradesh is the largest state in the country in terms of population. The Yogi government of UP also runs many schemes for the people of its state.
Most of these schemes are for people belonging to poor and needy sections. Many poor families in the state do not even have money to run their lives. Financial assistance is given by the Uttar Pradesh government at the time of marriage of the daughters of such families.
Let us tell you that the Uttar Pradesh government runs many beneficial schemes for the citizens of its state. Among these, the Chief Minister Mass Marriage Scheme is also run by the UP government to provide financial assistance to the families of poor daughters. Through this scheme, the Uttar Pradesh government assists ₹1 lakh for the marriage of poor daughters of the state.
It is worth noting that earlier this assistance amount used to be ₹51 thousand rupees. The government has increased to one lakh rupees this year. In the scheme, ₹60 thousand rupees are directly transferred to the girl’s account. The rest is spent on the wedding ceremony and essential items. This is a real incentive that reduces a big burden on poor families.
Which families will get the benefit
Let us tell you that the government sets certain conditions for all the schemes it runs. Only those people who fulfill those conditions get the benefit. Some conditions have also been set under the mass marriage scheme of the Uttar Pradesh government. According to these conditions, the benefit will be given to the daughters of those families whose annual income is up to ₹3 lakh.
Let us tell you that earlier this limit was only up to ₹ 2 lakh. Due to this many families were deprived of the benefits of the scheme! Now through this scheme, more people are able to take advantage. This is an inclusive step that brings more families within the scope of the scheme.
