About the Nijut Moina Benefit-2025, is one of the most revolutionary and most effective social welfare schemes initiated by the Government of Assam with a goal to encourage girls’ education and do away with negative legislative practices such as early childhood wedding. Launched by the Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, this scheme seeks to provide one-time financial support to girl students who face monetary constraints in pursuit of further studies.

Education is the keystone of social development, and when girls are educated, entire communities follow. The Nijut Moina Scheme adheres to this vision by promoting girls to remain in schools and colleges, obtain higher education, and be economically independent. In 2025, the scheme is being scaled considerably to be one of the largest girl-education supporting program in the country.

Background of the Nijut Moina Scheme

The Nijut Moina Scheme was first introduced in Assam as a targeted initiative to address two major problems:

1. Drop-out rates of girl students
2. Incidence of child marriage for economic reasons

In most parts of Assam, especially in rural and economically backward areas, girls education was often left after the secondary school due to financial reasons or social customs. This results into early marriage and blocks girls from opportunities of self-development and career growth.

The assamese word Nijut moina means large numbers of daughters that the govt is committed to provide protection and empowerment for lakhs of girls across the state. The 2025 iteration of the scheme is an evolution of the previous phases, bringing wider coverage to serve more students.

Nijut Moina 2.0, the 2025 expansion, intends to extend coverage to a far larger set of beneficiaries. The government has hiked the funds, expanded eligibility norms and fortified Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) to ensure transparency.

Here are the key points of Nijut Moina Scheme 2025:

• More than 3.5 to 4 lakh girl students covered
• Financial support every month for 10 months of the school year

This expansion reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to girls’ education and societal transformation.
