What is Mukhyamantri Rajshri Yojana?

The Mukhyamantri Rajshri Yojana is a social welfare scheme launched by the Rajasthan government in June 2016 to support the overall development of girls in the state. Its primary goals are to promote a positive mindset toward girls, improve their health and education, and empower them to become self-reliant. The scheme provides financial assistance of up to ₹50,000 to eligible girls born on or after June 1, 2016, disbursed in six instalments from birth to Class 12. Here’s a breakdown of the scheme based on available information:

Objectives

• Encourage positive thinking toward girls in society.
• Improve girls’ health, education, and social status.
• Reduce gender discrimination, child marriage, and child mortality.
• Enhance the girl-child ratio and promote institutional deliveries.

Benefits and Instalments

The ₹50,000 financial aid is provided in six stages:

• At Birth: ₹2,500 for girls born in government hospitals or private institutions registered under the Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY).
• After 1 Year (Vaccination): ₹2,500 upon completing vaccinations.
• Class 1 Admission: ₹4,000 upon enrolling in a government school.
• Class 6 Admission: ₹5,000 upon entering Class 6 in a government school.
• Class 10 Admission: ₹11,000 upon entering Class 10 in a government school.
• Class 12 Completion: ₹25,000 after passing Class 12 from a government school.

The amount is transferred via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to the bank account linked to the girl’s or parents’ Bhamashah card.

Eligibility Criteria

• The girl must be a resident of Rajasthan and born on or after June 1, 2016.
• She must have been born in a government hospital or a JSY-registered private institution.
• Only two girls per family are eligible for the full scheme, though parents of a third girl can receive the first two instalments (₹5,000 total).
• Parents must have a Bhamashah card and an Aadhaar card.

Required Documents

• Aadhaar cards of the girl and her parents.
• Bhamashah card of the family.
• The birth certificate of the girl.
• School admission certificate (for later instalments).
• In case of parents’ death, a death certificate may be required.

Application Process

• Offline: Visit a government hospital, JSY-registered institution, collector’s office, district council, gram panchayat, or taluka health officer to apply. Submit the form with required documents to the relevant district officer (e.g., Women Empowerment Officer or Chief Medical Officer).
• Online: When available, apply through the Jankalyan portal. Steps include:
  1. Visit the portal and select “Rajshree Yojana.”
  2. Click “Apply Online” and create an account if needed.
  3. Enter details like the girl’s birth certificate number, Bhamashah card number, and Aadhaar number.
  4. Upload documents and submit the form.

Additional Notes

• The scheme also supports health needs like vaccinations and encourages institutional deliveries to reduce maternal and child mortality.
• It aligns with the “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” vision, aiming to empower girls through education and financial independence.
• There’s no caste-based eligibility, making it accessible to all eligible girls in Rajasthan.
• A recent update suggests the scheme may have been rebranded as the Lado Protsahan Yojana in 2025, with the financial aid increased to ₹1,00,000, distributed over seven instalments. However, this change lacks official confirmation in the provided data, so the original structure is assumed to apply as of May 10, 2025.

This scheme reflects Rajasthan’s efforts to address gender disparities, but its success depends on effective implementation, awareness, and timely disbursal of funds. For more details, you can visit the official Jankalyan portal or Visit upagriculture.co.in
