Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that the Mukhya Mantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana is being implemented to empower workers in the state. On Friday, March 28, an ex-gratia amount of ₹505 crore will be transferred to 23,162 worker families under the scheme. The Chief Minister will transfer the funds from the Mantralaya, with Labour Minister Shri Prahlad Singh Patel and other public representatives participating at various locations.

Sambal Yojana: A Lifeline for Unorganized Workers

The Sambal Yojana is a key welfare initiative for workers in the unorganized sector. Under its ex-gratia assistance program, the scheme provides ₹4 lakh in case of accidental death, ₹2 lakh for natural death, ₹2 lakh for permanent disability, ₹1 lakh for partial disability, and ₹5,000 as funeral assistance

Women workers also receive ₹16,000 as maternity assistance. Additionally, children of registered workers benefit from full tuition fee coverage under the Higher Education Promotion Scheme.

Expanding Coverage: Gig & Platform Workers Included

Following the NITI Aayog's initiative, gig and platform workers have also been brought under the Sambal Yojana, with registration underway. They are now eligible for the same benefits as traditional workers. Beneficiaries also receive ration cards for subsidized food under state and central government schemes.

Comprehensive Support from Birth to Old Age

The Sambal Yojana provides lifelong financial assistance, making it a model scheme for other states. Beneficiaries are also covered under the Ayushman Bharat Niramayam Yojana, providing ₹5 lakh in annual free medical treatment.

Impact So Far

Since its launch on April 1, 2018, the Madhya Pradesh government has registered 1.74 crore workers under the scheme. To date, the Labour Department has provided benefits worth over ₹5,927 crore to more than 6.58 lakh cases. The registration process is ongoing, ensuring continued support for workers across the state..
