Rs 500 to each girl student from community schools: CM Raut

Chief Minister at State-2 Lal Babu Raut has said the State government will provide Rs 500 as motivational allowance to each girl student from the community school in the State.

While inaugurating the daughter education insurance week campaign at the Office of the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers here Thursday, he shared that the girl students from Grade 1 to 8 will receive the allowance from upcoming fiscal year. He further said they were planning to reach Rs 2 million insurance amount from existing Rs 10,000.

The State government is starting the implementation of the ‘Beti Bachau-Beti Padhau’ campaign (Save daughter, educate daughter) —an insurance scheme to encourage girl education launched last year. The insurance scheme is expected to reduce the dropout of girl students.
