To curb child marriages, Assam offers financial incentives for girl education

Under the scheme, all girl students from Class 11 to postgraduate level will be provided with monthly stipends. The stipends are 1,000 for students of Classes 11 and 12, 1,250 for degree students and ₹2,500 for students pursing postgraduation.

The stipends, however, come with two riders - the students will have to attend their classes regularly, be disciplined and fare well in exams, and secondly, they cannot get married until post-graduation.
