Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to uplifting weaker sections of society through the ‘Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivah Yojana’, a flagship programme aimed at ensuring dignified weddings for daughters from financially vulnerable families.
‘Mukhyamantri Samuhik Vivah Yojana’: CM Yogi Adityanath Highlights ₹1 Lakh Support for Daughters’ Marriage
CM Adityanath explained that under the scheme, families who are unable to bear the expenses of their daughter’s marriage receive ₹1 lakh financial assistance directly from the government. He also noted that invitation cards for the wedding ceremonies are printed at the District Magistrate’s level, reflecting the administration’s involvement in ensuring transparency and dignity.
Chief Minister said the initiative not only provides monetary support
The Chief Minister said the initiative not only provides monetary support but also promotes collective wedding ceremonies, reducing unnecessary expenditure and encouraging a simple, community-focused approach. The scheme aims to prevent families from taking loans or falling into debt, especially in rural and low-income regions.
Officials stated that the programme has become a major support system for thousands of families every year, enabling them to fulfil social responsibilities without financial stress. The government ensures that the beneficiaries receive assistance on time, and district-level committees monitor the entire process to avoid any irregularities.
The Yogi Adityanath administration continues to emphasise women’s welfare and empowerment, with the Samuhik Vivah Yojana emerging as a significant pillar in the government’s broader social security framework. Through such initiatives, the state aims to strengthen community bonds while ensuring dignity and respect for all beneficiaries.
