Kanyashree Prakalpa
Kanyashree Prakalpa is a unique initiative undertaken by the Government of West Bengal to improve the life and status of girl students. The purpose of this project is to provide financial support which helps them to pursue higher education and empower them for future. The Department of Women Development and Social Welfare, Government of West Bengal (DWD&SW) had designed and implemented the Kanyashree Prakalpa in the year 2013. The purpose of the scheme is to educate girl child and prevent child marriage until they reach the legal age of marriage. This conditional cash transfer scheme aims to improve the status and well-being of the girl child. As Child marriage has a negative impact on life of a girl, this scheme is helping out them to get rid of the problem and improve their health (especially facilitate the prevention of infant and maternal mortality) as well as educational status and move towards the empowerment of the girls who belongs to this State. This project brings immense benefits for the larger society as a whole.
The Project started in our college on the very first day of when the project was implemented by the state government. The girl students of Krishnagar Women’s College have also benefitted from the scheme. It has immensely helped the girl students who are economically backward. They can continue their studies which will help to empower them in the society. This scheme improves their educational status as well as their well-being. To motivate our students, we organize various events such as awareness programs, seminars, and competitions through our Kannyashree Club. The Kanyashree Club and Cultural Committee initiated a free health check-up camp at post COVID period. Not only that our Kanyashree Club intervened to prevent a student's marriage against her wishes.
Our college was nominated and honored as the best college for Kannyashree Prakalpa at the district level on August 14, 2023.
