Glimpses from the launch of the Mukhyamantri Kanya Bibaha Yojana by Hon’ble CM Shri Mohan Charan Majhi near the sacred Tara Tarini Peeth in Ganjam district.

Honorable Chief Minister Shri Mohan Charan Majhi has inaugurated 'Chief Minister's bride marriage plan' from the holy shrine of Maa Tara Tarini of Ganjam.

This project has been inaugurated at Maa Tara Tarini's shrine and the auspicious marriage of 201 brides has been completed. On this occasion, the Chief Minister said that, our aim is to build an Odisha where no bride will be forced to marry before the attaining age of marriage due to financial weakness or social pressure. Also this scheme will give a new message to the society that, girls are not burden to parents, they are blessings of God.

✅ In this scheme, 60 thousand rupees assistance is being provided to eligible girls.

"This scheme will mainly be helpful in relieving the financial burden of marriage on families of economically weaker classes as well as respecting women, social security, encouraging widow remarriage, preventing dowry rituals."
