Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Scheme

Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Scheme

Women's rights have always been suppressed in our country. People living in rural areas in India give more importance to boys than girls. They believe that boys will take their families forward and earn money for their families, while little girls are their only liability. Because of this, their families kill the girl child at the time of her birth, Or they are married at a young age. To prevent such crimes, the central government of the country has started a scheme, under which daughters of poor families are saved and encouraged to educate them.

• Sukanya Samriddhi Account :- Under Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Yojana, a savings scheme has been started named Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. This is an account that is opened for minor girls. Here their parents or guardians save money for their daughters, which is used for their education and marriage. There is no tax period in this account.

• Withdrawal of money: – Under this scheme, parents of daughters can deposit money in their name, and they can continue till the age of 21 years of the girl child. This fund will mature as soon as the girl ages 29 years, or if she decides to get married between the age of 18 to 29 years, and this fund will reach the maturity stage, then only the girl can withdraw money from this account.
• School fees will not have to be paid:- Under this, girls studying in government schools do not have to pay school fees in any way. Apart from this, special discounts are also provided for girl students in some private schools.
• Maintenance of the scheme: – This scheme has been started by the Central Government.

Application Process

• To get the benefit of this scheme, the parents or guardians of the candidates first have to contact the subsidiary bank to open a bank account in the name of their daughter under the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana.
• In the subsidiary bank account, they can get the form for opening the account, after that, you have to submit it by filling in all the information asked in the form correctly and attaching all the necessary documents to it. And in this way your account opens.
