Shadi Mubarak Scheme Telangana

Shadi Mubarak scheme is a welfare scheme in which the government provides financial assistance to carry out the marriage expenses so that the families who are below the poverty line can get benefitted. 

This scheme focuses on preventing child marriages. It was first introduced by the government of Telangana and was established on 22nd October 2014.

• 1,00,116 is the planned amount to serve per weeding so that the scheme carries out perfectly.
• 1450 is the planned budget to work with for a year.  

Earlier, Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao the chief minister of Telangana used to provide Rs.51,000 to all the scheduled caste families back in 2014, then in 2017 the government exceeded the amount to Rs.75,116 but now the scheme has got expanded for more distressed families and also increased the amount to Rs.1,00,116. 

This scheme gets accessible barely once in a lifetime.  

Difference between Kalyana Laxmi Yojana and Shaadi Mubarak scheme 

Often the two schemes- Kalyana Laxmi Yojana and Shaadi Mubarak scheme are related but the basic minor difference between the two is that the Kalyana Laxmi yojana scheme is launched for Hindu girls and the Shaadi Mubarak scheme is been launched for Muslim girls. 

The separation is done because the rituals of both the marriage styles are different so to avoid any kind of mistakes, two separate schemes were launched based on the same idea which is to provide monetary assistance for marriage events expenses to the bride's side of the family.  

The reason behind launching the Shadi Mubarak scheme

In many parts of the states, the people are still stuck with stereotypes and they believe that the girls are kind of a burden for them and so is their marriage. 

The crimes are possessed under this pressure such as abandoning the girl child at the time of her birth or not wanting a daughter as a part of the family and these measures need to be stopped. 

So to spread the positive message and to change the mindset, the Telangana government came up with the scheme. 

They transfer the payment to the girl's bank account at the time of her wedding. 

So that the family wouldn't worry about the marriage expenses.

Another issue which the scheme deals with indirectly is early child marriage, for the sake of financial assistance the girls would get a longer period and it would be ensured under the scheme that the bride is marrying at her legal age set by the constitution.
