Union Women and Child Development ministry has decided to destroy fake and illegal forms relating to receive benefit of Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) scheme. In a notification recently issued, the ministry has clearly stated that any such fake and illegal forms received in the ministry will be disposed off summarily by destroying and without any notice. The ministry has advised the general public not to fall prey to  this fraudulent activity of filling fake forms , wasting energy and resource, the statement said.

The ministry has been receiving filled up fake forms from many duped girls/women, whereby the forms falsely promise cash incentive in the name of  Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) Scheme. A “Fake Form” is an application form for receiving any form of benefits either in kind or cash which is not  prescribed or issued by the WCD Ministry. BBBP has no provision for individual cash Incentive transfer component by the Government . Beti Bachao Beti Padhao scheme focuses on challenging mindsets and deep rooted patriarchy in the societal system, strict enforcement of PC&PNDT Act, advancing education of the girl child: focuses on issues of women empowerment on a life cycle continuum. It is not a Direct Benefit Transfer ( DBT) scheme. It is implemented through the office of Collectors/DMs/DCs in the Districts and for multi-media advocacy outreach through authorized media agencies.
