With the idea of raising the status of girl children and promoting their birth in the country, the Karnataka government has come up with the Karnataka Bhagyashree Scheme. The scheme provides financial assistance to the girl child in families that lie below the poverty line through her mother or father who is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions.

The government of Karnataka offers the following benefits to the eligible candidates of this scheme-

  • The girl child gets a health insurance cover of upto Rs. 25,000 per month
  • The child gets an annual scholarship of Rs. 300 to Rs. 1,000, depending upon her age upto 10th standard
  • The parents get Rs. 1 lakh in case of accident and Rs. 42,500 in case of natural death of the girl child.
  • On completing 18 years of age, the parents of the girl child would be paid Rs. 34,751.

Along with this, there are certain interim payments such as annual scholarships and insurance benefits that the beneficiary can avail upon continued fulfillment of the eligibility criteria. The grant of such facilities promotes the birth of girl children in economically weaker families and raises their status within the society.
