Kotahimai Rural Municipality launched the programme last fiscal year by fostering equality between sons and daughters in local communities.

Sudha Chain, a resident of ward 4 of Kotahimai Rural Municipality in Rupandehi district, received Rs5,000 from the rural municipality office last year for registering the birth of her daughter at the ward office.
