Details

The Haryana government's Mukhya Mantri Vivah Shagun Yojna is a thoughtful initiative aimed at easing the financial burden of marriage for daughters from underprivileged families. It ensures that girls from poor backgrounds, especially those from Scheduled Castes (SC), Backward Classes (BC), and families headed by widows or destitute women, can get married with dignity.

What Is This Scheme?

This scheme offers financial assistance, referred to as 'Shagun', to eligible families to help cover wedding expenses. The aim is to honor the girl child and prevent financial constraints from becoming a barrier to marriage for vulnerable sections of society.

Who Can Benefit From This Scheme?

The scheme is designed to support girls who are residents of Haryana and are 18 years or older. It specifically targets daughters of widows, divorced or destitute women, orphan girls, members of SC, DT, or Tapriwas communities, daughters of sportswomen, and individuals with disabilities. Financial support is also extended to families from all sections of society in Haryana, provided their annual income is within the specified limit.

Why This Scheme Is Important

Financial stability is crucial, especially during significant life events like marriage. This scheme recognizes the challenges faced by low-income families and vulnerable groups in meeting marriage expenses. By providing a 'Shagun' amount, it aims to ensure that every girl has the opportunity for a dignified wedding, irrespective of her family's economic status.
