The Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu started this initiative in 1992. The goal of this strategy is to elevate the position of women in society, safeguard girls, and eliminate female infanticide.
Families that have one or two female children but no male children are eligible for help. To qualify for financial aid from the Tamil Nadu government, a household must fall below the poverty level.
A close examination of the scheme reveals, however, that its implementation is not targeted at districts with a high prevalence of female infanticide, that it assumes only poor families are anti-daughters, and that, given the sterilization condition, families with only daughters and a strong son preference are unlikely to volunteer. It is also unclear to what extent it has changed attitudes regarding daughters, which is one of its goals.

The Government of Tamil Nadu expanded this program to support the educational needs of young women. A yearly incentive of Rs. 1800 is given to female children beginning in the sixth year of the deposit to encourage them to continue their education.
The money is placed with the Tamil Nadu Power Finance and Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited in the name of the female child (born on or after 01/08/2011) as a fixed deposit. A copy of the fixed deposit receipt is sent to the female child’s family.
