Rajasthan Govt's Palanhar Yojana A Lifeline for Orphan Children

Rajasthan Government’s Palanhar Yojana for Orphan Children

To help the state's orphan children, the state government launched the Palanhar Yojana. Under the Palanhar Yojana, the family of the boys and girls' closest relatives or acquaintances in the community will make arrangements for their upbringing, schooling, and other needs instead of institutionalizing them as state orphans or children whose parents have passed away. The state will provide education, food, clothing, and other necessities in a family setting by placing an interested individual in foster care.
