NEW DELHI: A five-year study on Haryana's conditional cash transfer scheme for girls has thrown up disappointing results, indicating that although the scheme increased the value of a daughter,

it had little impact on delaying the girl's marriage or increasing her chances for secondary education. The study puts a question mark on the efficacy of conditional cash transfer schemes that are being run by both the central and state government.

The International Center for Research on Women (ICRW) surveyed 13,000 people in its evaluation of Haryana government's scheme 'Apni Beti Apna Dhan' (ABAD). There are 720 million child brides worldwide. India is home to one-third of them. Haryana government's ABAD scheme is one among many initiated by the central and state governments to tackle adverse child sex ratio and encourage couples to educate their daughters.

The ABAD programme was among the first long-term conditional cash transfer (CCT) schemes in India intended to enhance the value of girls. Implemented by the state government between 1994 and 1998, it provided a Rs 25,000 bond in the name of girls who were enrolled by their families at birth. The programme was specifically targeted at low-income and lower caste families where girls were likely to be married at younger ages. The girls could cash in the bond at age 18 if they remained unmarried.
