Delhi Ladli Yojana: Govt Support for Girl Child Education – Check Eligibility & Benefits

Residents of Delhi with a girl child can now benefit from the Delhi Ladli Yojana, a government initiative aimed at promoting the education of girls and reducing school dropout rates. Under this scheme, financial assistance is provided at key stages of a girl’s schooling—starting from birth up to Class 12.

The objective of the scheme is to empower families to support their daughters’ education by easing the financial burden. Eligible families receive direct monetary support at milestones such as school admissions and academic progress.

Eligibility Criteria for Delhi Ladli Yojana

Find out if your daughter qualifies by meeting these conditions:

• The girl child must be born in Delhi.
• Your family should have lived in Delhi for at least the last 3 years.
• Your annual family income should be under Rs 1 Lakh.
• If your daughter is already in school, it must be recognized by Delhi Govt., MCD, or NDMC.
• The scheme benefits only two living girl children per family.

Financial Benefits Provided Under the Scheme

This scheme supports girls’ education by giving Rs 5,000 at important points of her school journey. The money is given when she joins these classes:

Stage	Amount Credited	When Will the Money Be Given?
On the birth of a girl (if delivered in hospital)	₹11,000	When the girl turns 18 and passes 10th class
On the birth of a girl (if delivered at home)	₹10,000	When the girl turns 18 and passes 10th class

When your daughter turns 18 and has passed the 10th board exams, the total amount plus interest is paid as a lump sum. This helps financially secure her at a key age and supports her further education or independence.
