List of Schemes under MP Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana at sambal.mp.gov.in Portal

In order to tackle several issues at once, governments need to deploy something broader than merely focusing on one issue at a time. Usually, governments are held for a specific period of time, and there happens to be no time to take matters one at a time. This one-cure-treats-all strategy has proven to be useful time and again, and while it may not entirely drive away poverty, malnutrition or caste inequality at once, it will at least push efforts in a progressive direction. 

The Madhya Pradesh government has launched a similar strategy through the implementation of the Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan yojana – an umbrella scheme that includes various schemes for the betterment of the people.

About the Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) scheme

On May 5th, 2020, the Madhya Pradesh government transferred ₹41.33 crores in the bank account of 1900 beneficiaries to mark the launch of the scheme. The Sambal scheme, as the yojana is also known, is not only a scheme, but is said to be the beacon of hope for the poor children in the state, a support platform for the poor, and scope of empowerment for women in the state.

The prime objective of the scheme is to offer financial assistance to the poor and to grant them better access to justice and services that aid their redemption from the vicious cycles of poverty.
