The Chief Minister's Girl Child Protection Scheme, a landmark initiative launched in 1992 by the then Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, is dedicated to the welfare and empowerment of girl children. By directly investing in girls, the scheme aims to combat gender discrimination and ensure their rights are protected.
The scheme's objectives include:
- Educational Empowerment: Promoting school enrollment and retention of girls, with a focus on completing at least intermediate education.
- Delayed Marriage: Encouraging girls to marry only after the age of 18.
- Family Planning: Promoting family planning norms, particularly for families with two girl children.
- Social and Financial Empowerment: Protecting the rights of girls and providing them with social and financial support.
- Strengthening Family Role: Empowering families to improve the status of girl children within the household.
