Budget Allocation for 2026-27
For the financial year 2026-27, the state government has allocated ₹400 crore to further expand the scheme and ensure wider coverage.
The initiative reflects the government’s focus on improving education, health, and empowerment of girls, aiming to build a secure, self-reliant future for them. Officials stated that such schemes are playing a key role in changing societal attitudes and promoting gender equality across Uttar Pradesh.
Officials further stated that the scheme has significantly contributed to improving girl child enrollment in schools and reducing dropout rates, especially in rural and economically weaker sections. By linking financial aid with key educational milestones, the government aims to ensure continuity in education and better health outcomes.
Authorities also emphasized that the use of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has minimized leakages and ensured that the benefits directly reach the beneficiaries’ bank accounts. The scheme is also being promoted actively at the grassroots level through awareness drives so that more eligible families can enroll and avail its benefits.
