Kanyashree Prakalpa is one of the most cherished schemes of the Government of West Bengal for Un-married girls of classes VIII-XII within the age group 13-18 years.
All the heads of the institutions are requested to assign the duty to look after the Kanyashree Prakalpa to the Assistant Headmaster or any other efficient teacher preferably a senior one, if they cannot spare time and give proper attention.
The span of date of birth for Annual Scholarship is now from 02.10.1995 to 31.12.2000 and that for One Time Grant is from 14.04.1995 to 31.12.1995 i.r.o. Kanyashree Prakolpo. It will increase subsequently in the next month and so.
A meeting convened by Directorate of Social Welfare i.r.o Kanyashree Prakalpo in the Conference Hall of the Department of Child Development and Department of Women Development and Social Welfare, Bikash Bhavan, North Block, 10th Floor, Salt Lake, Kolkata-91 will be held on July 30, 2014.
Department of Women & Child Development and Social Welfare informed that data entry for fresh and renewal cases of Kanyashree benefits is very slow. It should be completed within 31st March, 2015.
I would be grateful if steps are taken for carrying out the celebrations as National Girl Child Day in a befitting manner on this day, that is on the 24th of January 2014.
Annual scholarship K1 and one time grant K2 under Kanyashree have been fixed by Govt. Initially the uploading of forms was satisfactory but right now the process has been slowed down due to non availability of filled in forms.
Kanyashree is a revolutionary project with the potential for checking child marriages; encouraging girls education and enhancing nutrition of adolescent girls.
