There are still many people in our country who understand the difference between boys and girls very well. So they are dissatisfied with the birth of more than one daughter, as a result of which both the child and the mother face many problems, in view of which the Chhattisgarh state government launched this “CG Kaushalya Maternity” Scheme.
Through this scheme, Financial assistance will be provided to the woman during their second childbirth so that the newborn does not suffer from malnutrition. Women who have given birth to their second daughter will be encouraged. From the birth of the second daughter to the age of 4 months, financial assistance of Rs 5,000 will be given to mothers as an incentive. Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has proposed a new budget for 2021-22 to implement this program. Rs 96107 crore has been sanctioned for this project with the introduction of the new budget.
Objectives of the scheme
- To protect the rights of women.
- Encouraging women to give birth of daughters
- Protecting girls and their mothers from malnutrition so that they can live their lives well and be self-reliant.
