Yogi Government Increases Marriage Aid for Construction Workers' Daughters
Imagine a state government that wants to help families when their daughters get married.
For families where the father works in construction, the government is giving more money to help pay for the wedding.
If it's a regular wedding, they get a certain amount.
If it's a wedding between people from different social groups, they get a bit more money.
And for big group weddings, they get the most help.
The government is also helping with the party itself.
This is to make sure that no daughter faces problems when starting her new life.
The process to get this help is now completely online, making it easier for families to apply.
Uttar Pradesh government has increased financial aid for construction workers' daughters' marriages.
Aid ranges from ₹65,000 for normal marriages to ₹85,000 for mass marriages.
