Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has said the financial aid under the state government's 'Kanyadan Yojana' will be increased from ₹10,000 to ₹25,000. The scheme aims to empower women by providing them with financial help for marriage.
A government resolution in this regard will be issued soon, the CM said at a gathering in Palghar on Saturday. He also addressed concerns related to the tribal communities and said issues like 'gaothan' expansion, implementation of Forest Rights Act, extension of PESA Act benefits to Adivasis and Other Backward Classes would be looked into judiciously.
