ABSTRACT:
The Government of West Bengal, Honourable Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has announced an innovative scheme named “Kanyashree Prakalpa” under the Department of Women Development of Social Welfare in August 2013. This scheme is a conditional direct cash transfer scheme for young girls between the ages of 13 and 18. Many impoverished parents of under developed countries find no economic rationale in investing to girl’s education and marry them to enhance the family security. This paper attempts to show a design to reduce drop out, prevent forced child marriage and motivate to attain higher education and well health of the girls.
