Details
The scheme “Mukhyamantri Kanya Vivah Yojana” was introduced by the Social Welfare Department, Government of Bihar, and aims to provide a grant at the time of marriage to girls from BPL and other economically disadvantaged families, to offer financial assistance to their families during the marriage.
