About Karnataka Arundhati Scheme
The Arundhati Scheme of Karnataka state, which is often known as the Maitri Scheme, is a social community program launched by the Karnataka government.
It is a token that grants the women of these societies disadvantaged access to financial support which they use to facilitate the ceremonial procedure in a dignified manner.
Because the Brahmin group is seen as weak, its members have trouble getting their daughters married. The Karnataka Arundhati plan has been initiated by the State Government of Karnataka. The plan says that the families of the daughters will get more money to help them arrange weddings for their children.
Beneath the ‘Arundhati’ plan, households will get 25,000 INR. Underneath the ‘Maitreyi’ plan, they will receive 3 INR lakh if the girl marries a priest.
