The Kanyashree Prakalpa introduced by the Government of West Bengal in 2013 is a conditional cash transfer (CCT) scheme aimed at simultaneously reducing under-age marriage and adolescent dropout among girls. It aims to reduce the probability of child marriage and increase the employability of girls by giving them education. This scheme is a two-tier conditional cash transfer scheme for girls aged from thirteen to eighteen with a family income less than Rs 1.2 lakh per annum. The first component consists of an annual grant of Rs 750 for unmarried girls between 13 -18 who are enrolled in grades VIII – XII or equivalent in some educational institution. The second component is a one-time grant of Rs 25,000 upon the attainment of 18 years, conditional upon her remaining both unmarried and pursuing 2 education/ vocational training/ technical training/ sports training till that age. This project increased the number of female students in colleges in rural Bengal.
