Kalyana Lakshmi Pathakam

The Government of Telangana envisions the overall development of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes/Backward Classes/Economically Backward Classes (SC, ST, BC & EBC) and in particular, the unmarried Girls belonging to these communities who are the disadvantaged section of the society. In pursuance of this vision, the Government of Telangana proposes to introduce the scheme of " Kalyana Lakshmi Pathakam ", on 02nd October 2014, to all SC, ST, BC & EBC girls on their marriage with a view to alleviate financial distress in the family. The main objective of the scheme is to provide financial assistance to the newly wedding brides who belong to SC, ST, BC & EBC families. Under this scheme at the time of marriage of the bride financial aid will be transferred into the bank account of the mother. This scheme will prevent early marriages and will also increase the literacy rate among girls as only those girls who have attained 18 years of age or more can apply for this scheme. Kalyana Lakshmi Scheme will also make women empowered and financially independent. Through the implementation of this scheme, many benefits will be availed for the brides who are about to get married in Telangana state. Incentives such as financial funds will be provided to the bank account of the bride's mother so that the marriage of the bride can take place smoothly and without any disturbance because of the property.
