Solution

The correct option is C Kanyashree Prakalpa
Kanyashree Prakalpa is an initiative taken by the Government of West Bengal to improve the life and the status of the girls by helping economically backward families with cash so that families do not arrange the marriage of their girl child before eighteen years because of economic problem. The purpose of this initiative is to uplift those girls who are from poor families and thus can’t pursue higher studies due to tough economic conditions. It has been given international recognition by UNICEF. Under Kanyashree Prakalpa an unmarried girl child who is 13 to 18 years old and reading in any recognized school will get annual scholarship if annual income of her both parents is up to Rs. 1,20,000/-
