As per the announcement by the Chhattisgarh Government/district administration in 2025, which district was declared India’s first child marriage-free district ?
Balod
The ‘Bal Vivah Mukt Bharat’ (Child Marriage-Free India) campaign was launched on 27 August 2024, and Chhattisgarh set itself the goal of becoming child marriage-free in phases by 2028-29.
In 2025, the Chhattisgarh government announced that Balod district had become India’s first child marriage-free district, after no case of child marriage was recorded there for two consecutive years. After verification, certificates were issued to all 436 gram panchayats and 9 urban local bodies of the district.
Surajpur district declared 75 of its gram panchayats child marriage-free in September 2025, but not the whole district. Rajnandgaon and Durg did not receive this status in 2025.
Balod option is correct.
