Sukanya samurudhi scheme is a new scheme launched by Central Govt for girl child. Under this scheme minimum investment is Rs. 1000/- for maximum two girl child under the age of 12. After attaining the age of 18, half of the amount in the scheme may be withdrawn and after 21, whole amount with interest. Interest rate is highest in comparison to other investment options like PPF, FDR etc. which I think is around 9.25%.
