Program Purpose and Objectives

The Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana is Uttar Pradesh's primary conditional cash transfer initiative for the girl child. Formulated by the Women and Child Development Department, the program counters deep-rooted gender bias, prevents female foeticide, encourages timely institutional child immunization, and prevents school dropouts among girls from low-income families.Under revised budget allocations, the total financial package provided to each registered girl child has been increased from ₹15,000 to ₹25,000. Rather than issuing a single lump sum, the state distributes the grant across six critical life milestones, starting from birth and continuing until admission into an undergraduate degree or diploma course. This phased financial release ensures that parents keep the girl child vaccinated, enrolled in formal schooling, and financially supported until she completes higher education.

Detailed Financial Assistance Across the Six Stages

The total grant of ₹25,000 is released in six separate stages tied to verifiable healthcare and educational milestones:

Stage 1: Birth of the Girl Child

  • Financial Assistance: ₹5,000 (increased from ₹2,000).
  • Milestone Requirement: Applied within six months of birth. The birth must take place in a recognized hospital or government health facility in Uttar Pradesh.

Stage 2: Complete Primary Vaccination

  • Financial Assistance: ₹2,000 (increased from ₹1,000).
  • Milestone Requirement: Applied after the child turns one year old and completes the full national immunization schedule (BCG, OPV, Pentavalent, Rotavirus, Measles-Rubella).

Stage 3: Admission into Class 1

  • Financial Assistance: ₹3,000 (increased from ₹2,000).
  • Milestone Requirement: Applied when the girl child is admitted into Class 1 in a recognized government, aided, or private primary school.

Stage 4: Admission into Class 6

  • Financial Assistance: ₹3,000 (increased from ₹2,000).
  • Milestone Requirement: Applied when the girl child transitions successfully from primary school and enrolls in Class 6 in an affiliated school.

Stage 5: Admission into Class 9

  • Financial Assistance: ₹5,000 (increased from ₹3,000).
  • Milestone Requirement: Applied when the student secures formal admission into Class 9 in a secondary educational institution.

Stage 6: Graduation or Diploma Course Enrollment

  • Financial Assistance: ₹7,000 (increased from ₹5,000).
  • Milestone Requirement: Applied when the girl child passes Class 12 and takes admission into an undergraduate degree course (BA, BSc, BCom, BTech, MBBS) or a recognized minimum two-year technical diploma program.
