The Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana (MKUY) is a government of Bihar scheme launched in 2016 to promote education and empowerment of girl children. Under the scheme, every girl child born in Bihar will receive a total of Rs. 60,000 from her birth to graduation level education. The amount is payable in installments, with the first installment of Rs. 2,000 being given at the time of the girl child’s birth. The remaining installments are payable on the girl child’s admission to class 1, class 6, class 9 and class 12.
The scheme is being implemented by the Education, Health and Social Welfare departments of Bihar. The scheme is expected to benefit over 3.5 crore girl children in Bihar.

Despite these concerns, the Mukhyamantri Kanya Utthan Yojana is a step in the right direction. It is a well-intentioned scheme that has the potential to improve the lives of girl children in Bihar.
