Assam’s Nijut Moina Scheme
The Assam government has launched the ‘Nijut Moina’ scheme to combat child marriage and promote girls’ education. Under this initiative, girls from Class 11 to postgraduate levels receive monthly financial support ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500. The scheme, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, requires girls to attend school regularly and delay marriage until after completing their post-graduation. With an investment of Rs 1,500 crore, it aims to benefit 1 million girls, further reducing child marriage and encouraging higher education, contributing to long-term social change and better health outcomes.
