The Rajasthan government has taken a major step to promote girl education.
The Lado Incentive Scheme, which previously supported only girls in government schools, will now also include girls studying in recognized private schools.
This ensures that girls from all backgrounds get equal opportunities for education.
Under the scheme, the government will provide financial assistance of ₹1.50 lakh per girl, from birth until graduation.
The amount will be disbursed in seven installments, helping girls continue their education without financial hurdles.
Awareness Workshops to Help Families
Starting in November, the Women’s Empowerment, Medical & Health, and School Education departments will organize workshops.
These sessions will guide families on the application process and payment details.
This initiative not only empowers girls through education but also strengthens the Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao campaign, ensuring equal opportunities in both urban and rural areas.
Rules and Eligibility
To benefit from the Lado Incentive Scheme, a girl must:
Be born in a government or authorized medical institution.

The scheme is now linked with the Rajshree Scheme, which reduces paperwork and formalities for families.
