कर्नाटक में अल्पसंख्यक महिलाओं के लिए शादी भाग्य योजना (हिंदी में)
The chief minister of Karnataka Siddaramaiah (Government of Karnataka) has launched Shaadi Bhagya scheme in October 2013 for the marriage of minority community women. This scheme is implemented in the state by the Directorate of Minorities in the Karnataka state. Under this scheme, the government will provide financial assistance for minority community (Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Parsi etc) women for their marriage. The main motive of the scheme is to provide financial assistance for the backward class women during their marriage. In this scheme, the beneficiaries get Rs. 50,000 as a financial assistance from the state government. The main objectives of this scheme are to bring a positive change after a girl child is born to the family, to support the family financially for the marriage of the girl, to discourage any minor girl marriage in the state and encourage marriages only after the girl has attained the legal age for marriage. This scheme is a good initiative for the development of minority community, as there are even some poor people in the minority community who don’t even have much money to arrange marriage cost. To get benefits under this scheme the girl candidate need to satisfy some eligibility norms which are mentioned below
