Vivah Shagun Yojna: The Haryana government has approved a significant step to help the poverty-stricken, helpless families in the state. Under Chief Minister’s Vivah Shagun Yojna, an effort is being made to help lower the economic expenditure on their daughters’ marriages.
Financial Assistance to Daughters’ Marriage
Under the scheme, financial assistance shall be given to families subject to certain eligibility criteria. SC and VJ families listed in the BPL category get Rs. 71,000 upon registration of their daughter’s marriage. Similarly, widow women, orphan children, and destitute women of all categories whose income is less than Rs. 1,80,000 shall get Rs. 51,000.
Registration Process and Eligibility Criteria
Under the Chief Minister’s Vivah Shagun Yojna, it is compulsory to register the marriage on the e-Disha portal. Besides, families have to complete the online registration at shaadi.edisha.gov.in within six months from the daughter’s marriage. Thereafter, all the financial assistance is paid promptly so that it can actually support the expenditure towards marriage.
Inclusive Support for People with Disabilities
The scheme also extends to families where the husband or wife has 40% or more disability. This category is provided Rs. 51,000 by the scheme. Financial help for general or backward castes coming under BPL is given Rs. 31,000.
Social Impact and Initiative of Government
This initiative of the Haryana government furthers social inclusiveness and helps lessen the financial burden on families at key life events such as marriages. The government, through direct financial support, seeks to empower families at large for availing equal opportunities in all spheres of life.
Vivah Shagun Yojna by the Chief Minister is one such initiative of the Haryana Government, which takes a rather proactive approach toward social welfare and empowerment. The scheme extends its aid to families that are not in a good economic position to regain their well-being and dignity for daughters throughout the state. This initiative shall help lighten the financial burden on parents and show social equity and inclusiveness in Haryana’s communities.
