Furthermore, the project aims to raise awareness about various government schemes and benefits available for married couples. Through informative sessions and workshops, the participating couples will be guided on how to avail themselves of these schemes, ensuring a brighter future for themselves and their families.One of the highlights of the event will be the opportunity for couples to complete their marriage registration. Recognizing the importance of legal documentation, JCI has collaborated with local authorities to facilitate hassle-free registration procedures. This initiative aims to provide the couples with the legal recognition and protection they deserve.We extend our heartfelt Gratitude to all the donors who supported us for this noble cause and thanked all the members from various JCI Chapters.
