Delhi government today announced the launch of a new welfare scheme, Lakhpati Bitiya Yojana for the bright future of the girls of the national capital. Under the new scheme, daughters in Delhi will receive a total assistance of 56 thousand rupees in instalments, starting from birth and continuing until the completion of their graduation.
After successfully completing their education, the scheme will mature, and the beneficiary will receive over one lakh rupees. Addressing a press briefing in National Capital, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta informed the entire process, from application to payment, will be fully online and transparent, eliminating the need for beneficiaries to visit government offices. She further said the scheme is designed to combine social security with education-linked incentives, reinforcing the state’s long-term commitment to gender equity, financial inclusion and human capital development.
The Chief Minister stated that this scheme will be digitalized, with data for each beneficiary updated periodically. Ms Gupta said that this scheme is not just an economic initiative but will also give confidence to the daughters of Delhi.
