KanyashreePrakalpa:

Objective:KanyasreePrakalpa seeks to improve the position and wellbeing of girls, specifically those from socio-economically underprivileged families through Conditional Cash Transfers by:

•Incentivizing them to continue in education for a longer period of time, and complete secondary or higher secondary education, or equivalent in technical or vocational steams, thereby giving them a better footing in both the economic and social spheres. Now this has extended for their further studies in University also.

•Restricted marriage till the legal age of marriage (18 years for girls), to reduce the risks of early pregnancies, associated risks of maternal and child mortality, and other debilitating health conditions, including those of malnutrition.

Scope:The scheme confers more than just monetary support. It provides financial inclusion and a means of empowerment for adolescent girls. The schemes benefits are therefore paid directly to bank accounts in the girls’ names, leaving the decision of utilization of the money in their hands.
This Prakalpa reinforces the constructive force of increased education and delayed marriages; the scheme also works to enhance the social power and self-esteem of girls through a targeted behaviour change communication strategy. The communication strategy not only builds awareness of the scheme, but includes adolescent-friendly approaches like events, competitions and Kanyashree clubs, and the endorsement of strong women figures as role models to promote social and psychological empowerment.
