“The Aapki Beti, Hamari Beti scheme launched in the state has proved to be a boon for 4,30,278 daughters of the state,” Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said today.

He said this while interacting with the beneficiaries of the Aapki Beti, Hamari Beti Yojana through audio conferencing from Rewari. He said that under the scheme, Rs 21,000 is given to poor and scheduled caste families on the birth of the first, second and third girl child and Rs 21,000 to all other families on the birth of the second and third girl child.

The amount is deposited as a lump sum in the name of the daughter in an account opened with the LIC. When the girl turns 18, she will get an amount of about Rs 1 lakh, informed Khattar.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
