Deputy Chief Minister Parvathi Parida has announced the upcoming rollout of the ‘Kanya Sumangal Yojana,’ a landmark scheme designed to secure the financial future of girls.
With the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) nearing completion, the government is set to provide phased financial assistance from birth through adulthood.
The scheme ensures that a significant corpus—totaling lakhs of rupees—is deposited into the girl’s bank account by the time she reaches 21 years of age.
Core Benefits:
Financial Security: Direct bank transfers start within the first year of birth.
Milestone Support: Funding continues through key educational stages.
Social Impact: Aims to improve health, education, and self-reliance while shifting societal attitudes toward the girl child.
This initiative is hailed as a milestone in social welfare, promising to build a stronger, more equitable future for daughters across the state.
