INDIAN NATIONAL GUIDELINE FOR BALIKA SAMRIDDHI YOJANA -BSY

INDIAN NATIONAL GUIDELINE FOR BALIKA SAMRIDDHI YOJANA -BSY

Major Features of the Balika Samriddhi Yojana

The recast Balika Samriddhi Yojana will be a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme to extend 100% central assistance to States/Union Territories to provide benefits under the Scheme in accordance with the norms, guidelines and conditions laid down by the Central Government.

Objectives

    1. To change negative family and community attitudes towards the girl child at birth and towards her mother.
    2. To improve enrolment and retention of girl children in schools.
    3. To raise the age at marriage of girls.
    4. To assist the girl to undertake income generating activities.

    Coverage

    The Balika Samriddhi Yojana will cover both rural and urban areas in all districts in India.

    Target Group

    The Balika Samriddhi Yojana will cover girl children in families below the poverty line (BPL) as defined by the Government of India, in rural and urban areas, who are born on or after 15 August, 1997.

      1. In rural areas the target group can be taken as the families which have been identified to be below the poverty line in accordance with the norms specified under Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (known as such with effect from 1.4.1999), previously known as Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP).
      2. In urban areas, wherever household surveys have been conducted as per the instructions of Government of India and lists of BPL families are prepared, such lists can be used. Wherever such lists are not prepared, the list of families covered under the Targetted Public Distribution System (TPDS) may be followed. Where neither of these lists are available, as a rule of thumb, families living in urban slums, both recognized as well as those not recognized, may be covered. Also, families which are in urban informal sector and working as rag-pickers, vegetable/fish and flower sellers, pavement dwellers etc. would also be eligible. Applications may also be collected from families in non-slum areas.

      Benefits under BSY will be restricted to two girl children in each household born on or after 15.8.1997 irrespective of the total number of children in the household.
