What this scheme offers
Announced by Union Health Minister JP Nadda as part of the state government's second-anniversary celebrations, Mukhyamantri Balika Samriddhi Yojana gives financial assistance to families in Tripura when a girl child is born — a deliberate, public act of celebration built into the moment of birth itself, meant to counter any lingering preference for sons in ways that quieter, later-stage schemes can't quite manage.
