The Uttar Pradesh government has launched several beneficial programs aimed at improving public welfare.
Among these initiatives is the Uttar Pradesh Inter-Caste Marriage Promotion Scheme, which offers financial assistance to young couples engaging in inter-caste marriages.
This scheme is designed to support couples who may not receive family backing for their choice of life partner, ensuring they face no financial hurdles.
The UP government introduced this program with a focus on addressing youth-related issues.
