Ladli Beti Scheme Extended to Eight Districts in Jammu & Kashmir

The state government of Jammu & Kashmir has confirmed that the Ladli Beti Scheme will remain operational in eight of its districts. The scheme, which was launched to encourage families to support the education and health of girl children, offers cash incentives at key stages of a girl’s early life. Officials said the continuation reflects the administration’s commitment to gender equity and the welfare of the girl child across the region. The decision was communicated through an official press release, and district authorities have been instructed to ensure timely disbursement of funds to eligible families. No new districts have been added, but the scheme’s coverage will be closely monitored for impact assessment.
