Full guide
What the scheme gives you
Beti Hai Anmol Yojana is a Himachal Pradesh scheme meant to make the birth of a daughter in a poor family a welcome, supported event rather than a burden. For an eligible girl child, the government deposits ₹21,000 in her name, which is paid out to her when she turns 18. On top of that, while she studies, she receives a yearly education scholarship — from about ₹450 up to ₹5,000 depending on her class, from Class 1 through graduation — to help with books, uniform and other costs.
Who can apply
- The girl is from a Below Poverty Line (BPL) family in Himachal Pradesh
- She is one of the first two daughters in the family
- The family has no income-tax payer
- She remains unmarried until she turns 18 (the benefit is tied to this)
How to apply
Register online on the Himachal Pradesh e-District portal (edistrict.hp.gov.in) and submit the form to your local Anganwadi worker. The Anganwadi worker processes the application and helps open a bank or post-office account in the girl’s name, into which the ₹21,000 is deposited. The amount, with the yearly scholarships collected along the way, supports her upbringing and education and is released when she turns 18.
