Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat

Launched on 27 November 2024 by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat - the Child Marriage Free India mission - is the Centre's bid to stamp out under-age marriage, a practice that still reached about a quarter of young women in the last national health survey. It couples a public reporting portal, dedicated district officers and a 100-day awareness blitz with a legal spine built on the 2006 prohibition law and a landmark 2024 Supreme Court prevention framework. The declared aim is to cut prevalence sharply by 2026 and reach a child-marriage-free country by 2030.
