The Dhee Rani Program is a CM Punjab scheme that provides marriage support to underprivileged daughters across Punjab. This guide explains who is eligible, what documents you need, and how to apply online, in simple words.
The program is meant to help families with limited means give their daughters a dignified marriage. Applying is free through the official portal cmp.punjab.gov.pk.
What is the Dhee Rani Program?
For many low-income families, the cost of a daughter’s wedding is a heavy burden. The Dhee Rani Program is a Punjab government welfare scheme that steps in to help, so that poverty does not stop a daughter from marrying with dignity. The support is aimed at the most deserving families, and the application is handled by the government rather than through private agents.
Dhee Rani Program eligibility
The program supports daughters who are:
- Destitute, orphans, persons with disabilities, or daughters of a person with a disability
- Generally aged 18 to 40
- Residents of Punjab with a Punjab domicile
Priority goes to low-income families. Criteria can change, so confirm the current eligibility on the official portal.
