The Mukhyamantri Kanya Sumangala Yojana (मुख्यमंत्री कन्या सुमंगला योजना — commonly searched as Kanya Sumangala Yojana UP) is a flagship conditional cash-transfer programme of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Launched in April 2019, MKSY provides structured financial support to eligible girl children at six key life stages — from birth and immunization through school enrollment and higher education.
Administered by the Department of Women and Child Development, the scheme aims to improve the child sex ratio, prevent female feticide, strengthen health and nutrition, and encourage families to educate their daughters. Benefits are released through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) via PFMS to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts.
This guide covers eligibility, all six benefit stages, required documents, the online application process on the official MKSY portal, status checking, and common troubleshooting — based on current Uttar Pradesh Government scheme rules.
