520			_aThis paper examines the impacts of the Kanyashree Prakalpa programme, a conditional cash transfer programme on curbing child marriages and adolescent pregnancies in West Bengal. Using the three recent rounds of the National Family Health Survey conducted in 2005–06, 2015–16, and 2019–21, the study leverages the temporal and cohort-wise exposure to the programme and employs a difference-in-differences approach to assess its impact. A statistically significant decline in the probability of early marriage and childbearing among women is found. The results highlight the scope of CCT programmes in improving these demographic outcomes in the context of developing countries.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/36/national-family-health-survey-5/effect-kanyashree-prakalpa-programme-child.html
