The Lek Ladki Yojana is a government initiative that provides financial assistance to families for the birth and education of a girl child, promoting gender equality and improving the welfare of girls.
The scheme aims to support the education and well-being of girls, reducing the financial burden on families and encouraging them to invest in their daughters' futures from birth to adulthood.
The scheme provides financial assistance at key milestones: at birth, for schooling, and after higher education. Eligible families receive funds to help cover educational expenses, health needs, and vocational training.
The scheme is open to families with girl children who meet income requirements. The family must be residents of the state, with priority given to families from economically weaker backgrounds.
Families can apply through local government offices or online portals by providing documents like birth certificates and income proof. Once approved, families receive the benefits at key stages of the girl's life.
