The Assam government has launched the 'Nijut Moina' scheme, 'Nijut Moina' provides monthly stipends of Rs 1,000 for classes 11 and 12, Rs 1,250 for degree students, and Rs 2,500 for post-graduation students, aiming to assist female students in continuing their education without financial constraints.
The scheme aims to discourage child marriages by incentivizing girls to pursue higher education. By providing financial support, it seeks to empower girls and delay marriage, thereby promoting their socio-economic development.
Launched for a period of 5 years, 'Nijut Moina' reflects Assam's commitment to enhancing female education and reducing social barriers such as early marriages, aiming to foster a more educated and empowered female population in the state.
