The scheme is for the benefit of the girl child belonging to below poverty line families. Under it, Rs 6,500 would be deposited by the state government in the name of a girl child on the day she is born, which would accumulate to Rs one lakh after 18 years. This money will be then handed over to the girl.
The scheme has already been implemented in MP and has as brought about sea change in the society's attitude towards the girl child and improving sex ratio in the state.
