The Andhra Pradesh Bangaru Talli Girl Child Promotion and Empowerment Act, 2013
The Andhra Pradesh Bangaru Talli Girl Child Promotion and Empowerment Act, 2013, establishes a comprehensive legal framework to support the survival, health, education, and development of girl children born in Andhra Pradesh. Applying to eligible mothers and female children across the state, including tribal areas, the law mandates essential support services and financial incentives linked to achieving key life milestones. Payments are transferred electronically to ensure transparency. Overseen by a State Council and dedicated nodal departments, the Act matters because it actively combats gender discrimination, encourages female education, improves child health, and economically empowers girls throughout their upbringing.
