Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav announced extensive financial aid to workers in Madhya Pradesh through the Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) 2.0 scheme, which provides support during difficult times, focuses on worker's dignity and safety, and addresses various concerns such as healthcare, education, and maternity benefits.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav emphasized the government’s commitment towards addressing workers' difficulties under all circumstances.
The Chief Minister stated that Mukhyamantri Sambal Yojana 2.0 provides financial support to workers during difficult times. He said, “Our workers are laying the foundation of a prosperous Madhya Pradesh with their blood, sweat and hard work, adding one brick at a time. It is the government’s duty to address workers’ difficulties under all circumstances.”
On Monday, through video conferencing from his residence, Dr. Yadav transferred ₹203 crore in ex-gratia assistance to eligible beneficiaries under the 11th instalment of the Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) 2.0 scheme implemented by the Labour Department.
The Chief Minister said that this aid would benefit 9,149 Sambal beneficiaries across the state and has supported over 1.84 crore workers in Madhya Pradesh through the scheme so far.
Dr. Yadav highlighted that the government stands with workers during hardships, providing significant relief during times of grief.
He also mentioned the state government's efforts to clear backlogs and ensure uninterrupted financial assistance for beneficiaries of Sambal and other departmental schemes.
Regarding worker’s dignity and safety, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Madhya Pradesh has become the first state in the country to implement the ‘Shram Shakti Sanhita’. The government has also introduced ‘Shram Star Rating’ to ensure there is no compromise on workers’ dignity and safety.
The Chief Minister said, “We are committed to helping workers refine their skills and progress through hard work. To connect workers with cooperatives and make them self-reliant, the government has launched the ‘Shramana’ scheme.”
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav also addressed concerns such as healthcare, education, and maternity benefits.
He said that healthcare is one of the biggest concerns for poor families, and Sambal beneficiaries have therefore also been linked with the Ayushman Bharat Niramayam Yojana.
The Chief Minister added that the government is also taking care of the educational expenses of children of eligible workers pursuing medicine, law, engineering, and polytechnic courses.
Pregnant women workers covered under the Sambal scheme no longer need to worry about financial difficulties during pregnancy. The state government provides ₹16,000 in financial assistance to eligible pregnant women workers.
Under the Sambal scheme, ₹1 lakh is provided in cases of partial permanent disability and ₹2 lakh for permanent disability.
