₹21,000 Financial Help and Loan Without Guarantee

Under this scheme, BPL families in selected villages will receive ₹21,000 in financial aid from the government. Along with this, they can also get a loan without providing any guarantee. This move is expected to help poor families become self-reliant and financially stable.

Permanent Houses for Those Without One

If any BPL family does not have a pucca house, the government will provide one under this scheme. Additionally, the benefits from earlier schemes will continue, so families will not lose any support they were already receiving.

The state government has planned to spend ₹1 lakh on each BPL family under this scheme. Women from these families who are part of self-help groups will get ₹15,000 as working capital to start self-employment or small businesses.

Connection with Other Government Schemes

The scheme will also connect families with several other schemes, such as:

• Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana for concrete houses

• Ujjwala Yojana for gas cylinders

• Toilet construction support

• Scholarships for children’s education

• Ration and food grains under food security

• Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya for school dropouts

Self-Reliant Card and 93 Schemes Benefits

To help BPL families come out of poverty, the government will issue an Aatmanirbhar (Self-Reliant) Card. With this, families will be linked to 93 government schemes in total, which include:

• 14 schemes for employment and livelihood

• 16 schemes for women's empowerment

• 13 schemes for financial inclusion

• 49 schemes for social security

15 parameters have been set to check whether a family has become self-reliant or not. Once eligible, they will be officially marked out of the BPL category.

Villages with Fewer BPL Families to Be Chosen First

In the first phase, villages where the number of BPL families is less will be selected. So, if your village has fewer poor families, it has a better chance of being selected early.

Application Process: How to Apply

The scheme is being carried out at the Panchayat level and has been active in Rajasthan since April 1, 2025. Here's how you can apply:

1. Visit your Gram Panchayat office and check if your village is included.

2. Ensure your name is in the BPL list.

3. Keep documents ready like BPL card, Aadhar card, ration card, bank details, etc.

4. Contact Gram Sevak or Patwari for help and guidance regarding the application process.
