 +
 +====== Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) 2026 + State Girl-Child Schemes ======
 +
 +
 +**Direct answer.** BBBP is the **central awareness + funding programme** that supports girl-child welfare. Central BBBP doesn't pay families directly — instead, **states use BBBP funds to run their own cash schemes**: **Ladli Lakshmi (MP)**, **Bhagya Lakshmi (Karnataka)**, **Sukanya Yojana (UP)**, **Mukhyamantri Kanya Suraksha (Bihar)**, **Apni Beti Apna Dhan (Haryana)**, etc. Plus the central **Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana** for savings.
 +
 +===== Quick Answer =====
 +
 +  * **Central BBBP** — campaign + funding to states.
 +  * **State cash schemes** — paid directly to family/girl.
 +  * **Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY)** — universal 8.2% savings.
 +  * **PMMVY** — maternity benefit ₹5,000–11,000.
 +  * **Apply at**: Anganwadi (state schemes) + post office/bank (SSY).
 +  * **Helpline**: **181** (women) / **1098** (children).
 +  * **Stuck?** [[https://righttoinformation.wiki/tools/ai-rti-draft-app.html|🪄 RTI in 60 sec]].
 +
 +===== What is BBBP =====
 +
 +BBBP launched **22 January 2015** by PM Modi at Panipat (Haryana — chosen because of worst child sex ratio). Central scheme funds awareness + state programs for: (a) preventing female foeticide, (b) saving + protecting girl child, (c) ensuring her education.
 +
 +==== Central BBBP doesn't pay families directly ====
 +
 +Instead, ₹100 cr+ annual budget goes to **state governments** to:
 +  * Run **awareness campaigns** (school, media, panchayat).
 +  * Fund **enforcement** of PCPNDT Act (anti-female-foeticide).
 +  * Support **state-specific cash schemes**.
 +  * Education infrastructure for girls.
 +
 +So the actual cash to families comes from **state schemes** (using BBBP funds), not BBBP central directly.
 +
 +===== State girl-child schemes (cash) =====

 +
 +===== Universal central schemes for girl child =====
 +
 +  * **[[:sukanya-samriddhi-yojana|Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY)]]** — 8.2% tax-free savings (account opens before age 10).
 +  * **[[:pm-matru-vandana-yojana|PM Matru Vandana Yojana]]** — ₹6,000 if second child is girl (additional to ₹5,000 first-child).
 +  * **[[:national-scholarship-portal|NSP — Single Girl Child Scholarship]]** — CBSE merit + state schemes.
 +  * **[[:ujjwala-yojana|Ujjwala Yojana]]** — free LPG to women (mother of girl).
 +  * **[[:pmay-2026-complete-guide|PMAY (in woman's name)]]** — house subsidy.
 +
 +===== Documents required (general) =====
 +
 +  - **Birth certificate** of girl child
 +  - **Aadhaar of girl child** (e-Aadhaar; full Aadhaar after age 5)
 +  - **Aadhaar of parents**
 +  - **Bank account** (girl's name; can be opened with parent as guardian)
 +  - **Income certificate** (Tehsildar — for many state schemes which have BPL/EWS cap)
 +  - **Caste certificate** if claiming SC/ST priority
 +  - **School enrolment proof** (for milestone-tied state schemes)
 +
 +===== How to apply =====
 +
 +==== Sukanya Samriddhi (universal, recommended for every girl < 10) ====
 +
 +  - Visit any post office or authorised bank.
 +  - Form + Aadhaar of girl + parents.
 +  - Min deposit ₹250 → account opens same day.
 +  - See [[:sukanya-samriddhi-yojana|full SSY guide]].
 +
 +==== State scheme ====
 +
 +  - Visit your state's **Women & Child Development** department portal OR Anganwadi.
 +  - Fill state-specific form + documents.
 +  - Anganwadi worker / ASHA verifies.
 +  - Sanction by state authority.
 +  - DBT to family bank account.
 +
 +==== PMMVY (maternity) ====
 +
 +  - Visit Anganwadi during pregnancy.
 +  - See [[:pm-matru-vandana-yojana|full PMMVY guide]].
 +
 +===== Common mistakes =====
 +
 +  * **Missing birth registration** — most state schemes require **birth certificate within 21 days**. Late registration = extra steps + sometimes denial.
 +  * **Aadhaar of girl missing** — get e-Aadhaar enrolment number at birth itself; required for most schemes.
 +  * **State scheme not stacked with central** — many states allow + encourage stacking. Apply both.
 +  * **Education milestones missed** — many state schemes pay in tranches tied to school completion (Class 5, 8, 10, 12). Document each.
 +  * **Parents move state** — schemes are state-specific. Moving = re-application in new state.
 +

 +===== FAQ =====
 +
 +==== Does BBBP give me direct cash? ====
 +**No** — central BBBP funds state schemes + awareness. The cash you receive is from your **state's BBBP-funded scheme** (Ladli, Bhagya Lakshmi, etc.).
 +
 +==== I'm in a state with no specific girl-child cash scheme. What's available? ====
 +**Universal central schemes**: Sukanya Samriddhi, PMMVY, NSP scholarships, Ayushman Bharat. Plus check **District Magistrate's discretionary welfare fund**.
 +
 +==== My daughter is 12 — can I open Sukanya Samriddhi? ====
 +**No** — SSY opens **only before age 10**. For older daughters, switch to **PPF** (lower interest 7.1% but no age limit) or fixed deposits in her name.
 +
 +==== Is BBBP only for poor families? ====
 +**No** — central BBBP is **awareness universal**. State cash schemes typically have **income cap** (BPL/EWS). Universal SSY has no income cap.
 +
 +==== Can I get state scheme + Sukanya Samriddhi + PMMVY together? ====
 +**Yes — fully stackable.** Each has separate application.
 +
 +==== If we have only one girl child, do we get extra benefits? ====
 +**Yes** — many states have additional **single-girl-child schemes**. CBSE has a Merit Scholarship for Single Girl Child (Class 11–12).
 +
 +==== Can adoptive parents apply? ====
 +**Yes** — adopted girl child fully eligible. Submit adoption deed + birth certificate.
