The Haryana government has announced free college education to the female students with family income less than Rs 1,80,000. The Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar while announcing this also said that the government will pay half the fees for college education to female students whose family income ranges between Rs 1.80 lakh and Rs 3 lakh.

This, the government added, will be applicable to all female students pursuing their studies in the private and government colleges.

The Chief Minister on X (formerly Twitter) said: “Today I announce free education for the daughters of Haryana families whose annual income is up to Rs 1,80,000. This announcement will be applicable to all private and government colleges and whatever fees will be borne by the government.”
