The aim of the scheme "Ladli Yojna" is to change the status of the girl child in our family/society and to help change the mindsets of the people for proper bringing up of the girl child and also to provide them with their birth rights as mentioned in our constitution. Girls are treated very lowly in our society as compared to boys. The treatment a girl child gets from her family is very pathetic. To combat all the problems like female foeticide, declining sex ratio of females and to increase the number of girls in the families government has introduced various schemes where a girl child gets special benefits. One such scheme is LADLI YOJNA -- this was launched in 2008 on the occasion of birth day of late Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi. As per the scheme the girl child gets free education and upbringing plus after 18 years she is entitled to get a Lakh of rupees in her name which can be used for her wedding -- which most parents consider a burden.
