Explanation:

To honour the girl child and ensure that she is not a burden to the parents it is befitting that the girls from relatively poor (BPL, Scheduled Castes families and daughters of widows) are married gracefully. For this mission, under the “Indira Gandhi Priyadarshini Vivah Shagun Yojana” a grant of Rs. 15000/- was being given by the Haryana Govt. to BPL persons belonging to scheduled Castes/Denotified tribes/ Tapriwas Jatis (and also widows of all the sections of society) and Rs. 5100/- was being given to the persons of other sections of the society. This grant has been enhanced to Rs. 31000/- and Rs. 11000/- respectively from 26th January, 2010. During the year 2010-11, from 16th December, 2010 a grant of Rs. 31000/- will also be given to all the destitute girls living in Govt. / Aided NGOs/ institutions on the occasion of their marriage.
