Over the years, various states have come up with various schemes for the welfare of the girl child. It has been noticed, through the Census data, that the increasing gender gap poses to be a problem at the moment for the nation’s overall development, and in the long run, will cascade into something much worse.

The Himachal government also has taken an initiative in this direction and has started the Himachal Pradesh Beti hai Animal Yojana 2020. This is a scholarship scheme for girls in Himachal Pradesh and happens to be a scheme that has been inspired by the Central Government’s Beta Bachao Beti Padhao scheme which aims to encourage women education across the nation.

What does the Himachal Pradesh Beti Hai Animal Yojana offer?

Under the Beti Hai Anmol yojana, the Himachal Pradesh government will offer scholarships of Rs 300 to Rs 1200 to girl students who have passed the 12th class and wish to study further. By offering this financial support to girl children across the state in the form of scholarship, the Himachal Pradesh government wishes to encourage more girls to knock on education’s doors and pursue higher education so they get to create a life for themselves.

This scheme primarily covers those from the Below Poverty Line – BPL and the scheme extends up to 2 girls in the family.

All girls in Himachal Pradesh who have passed their 12th standard examinations and are currently pursuing BA, B.Com, B.Sc, Engineering, Medical, or even Law courses can avail of this scheme.
