    About this scheme

    By the Chandigarh Government, this scheme is initiated to reduce the financial burden for the girl marriage. Under the scheme financial assistance will be provided.

    This program, under the Department of Social Welfare, Women & Child Development, Chandigarh, aims to uplift widows belonging to the Scheduled Caste community. Widows, particularly from marginalized groups, often face financial struggles and social isolation. By providing financial aid for their daughters' weddings, the program helps alleviate these burdens and promotes their overall well-being.

    The initiative empowers these widows by supporting their daughters' marriages. Marriage expenses can be substantial, and this assistance enables them to fulfill their parental duties and ensure a respectable marriage for their daughters.
