6,902 girl students covered under Beti Anmol Scheme: JK Govt

The Jammu and Kashmir government today said as many as 6,902 girl students were covered under Beti Anmol Scheme in the state and a mass awareness campaign would be launched to cover the maximum number of students.
Deputy Chief Minister Tara Chand has said that 6,902 girl students of poor families have been brought under the ambit of 'Beti Anmol Scheme' in the State.
Replying to a question by Indu Pawar in the House today, the Deputy Chief Minister said that this scheme could not be implemented in district Jammu and Samba as there are no educationally backward blocks in these districts.

So far 1,663 poor girl students of Jammu division and 5,239 of Kashmir division are covered under the scheme, he said.
Replying to the supplementaries raised by Ashwani Kumar, Jugal Kishore, Harsh Dev, Ashok Kumar, the Deputy Chief Minister said that to cover maximum number of poor girl students, a vigorous mass awareness scheme would be launched in all blocks.
He, however, requested the members that they should also play their role in this regard for publicising the benefits of welfare schemes including Beti Anmol Scheme in their public addresses.
