Hardoi district recorded the highest number of couples married under Uttar Pradesh's Samuhik Vivah Yojana, the state’s mass‑marriage scheme for economically weaker sections.
The administration of Hardoi district announced that it has recorded the highest tally of couples married under Uttar Pradesh's Samuhik Vivah Yojana during the latest reporting cycle. The scheme, launched by the state government, offers financial assistance, wedding attire and a venue to facilitate low‑cost marriages for families belonging to the economically weaker sections.
Local officials said that intensive outreach by district officers and partnering NGOs has driven the surge in registrations, making Hardoi a model for other districts. The district’s success reflects the effectiveness of community‑level awareness drives and streamlined procedures at the marriage registration centres.
State authorities have praised Hardoi’s performance and indicated plans to replicate its outreach strategies across other regions. By easing the financial burden of marriage, the Samuhik Vivah Yojana aims to curb dowry practices and promote social equity.
The programme continues to operate through designated marriage halls, with beneficiaries receiving a cash grant and essential wedding items, reinforcing the government's commitment to inclusive social welfare.
