Kanyashree Dibas observed across Bengal



The West Bengal government celebrates ‘Kanyashree Divas’ today to mark the success of the highly acclaimed Kanyashree project.

On the occasion, girls from around the state for their achievements in several competitions have been felicitated.

About the scheme:

The Kanyashree Scheme was inaugurated by the Trinamool Congress government in October, 2013, with the express purpose of ensuring the education of girls and thereby preventing forced child marriage.

Under the scheme, the government provides an annual scholarship of Rs. 500 to girls between 12 and 18 years (class eight to class 12) to continue with their studies, provided they are unmarried. A one-time grant of Rs 25,000 is also provided to the girl, once she reaches the age of 18, to pursue higher studies.
