Overview of Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana

The **Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana** is a flagship social security scheme launched by the Government of Madhya Pradesh. Its primary objective is to provide comprehensive support and social security benefits to the poor and unorganized sector workers and their families. The scheme, which was re-launched as **Sambal 2.0**, aims to provide a safety net for workers who often lack formal benefits, covering them and their families through various life-cycle stages from birth to death.

The scheme provides benefits related to accidental death, natural death, maternity, education for children, electricity bill waivers, and funeral grants, among others. The registration and management of this scheme are handled through the **Shram Seva Portal**.

The scheme is specifically targeted at unorganized sector workers who meet the following criteria:

• The applicant must be a native of Madhya Pradesh.

• The applicant must have an Aadhaar Card and a Samagra ID.
• The applicant must not be an income tax payee or a government employee.
