Details of the Inter-Caste Marriage Scheme
The Rajasthan government has initiated the Dr. Savita Ben Ambedkar Inter-Caste Marriage Promotion Scheme to provide financial assistance to married couples. If a boy or girl from a Scheduled Caste marries a partner from a higher caste, the government grants them ₹10 lakh as an incentive. The primary aim of this scheme is to reduce caste discrimination and foster a sense of community among people.
Financial Assistance for Scheduled Caste Couples
Under the Inter-Caste Marriage Scheme by the Rajasthan government, beneficiaries will receive ₹10 lakh in financial aid. Out of this amount, ₹5 lakh will be fixed as a deposit for eight years, while the remaining ₹5 lakh will be deposited immediately into the joint bank account of the couple. This scheme not only provides financial support to newlyweds but also facilitates a smoother start to their new life together.
