Frequently Asked Questions

I am a postgraduate (MA/MSc). Do I get more than a graduate?

Postgraduate candidates have preferential eligibility and may be assigned to higher-level work. The allowance amount is the same (₹3,000 + ₹6,000 work).

I am working part-time (freelance). Can I still apply?

Part-time freelance work technically makes you "self-employed" — verify with the Haryana Employment department. Regular part-time jobs likely disqualify you.

What if I don't want to work 100 hours at a government office?

You can still receive the unemployment allowance (₹3,000/month). The ₹6,000 honorarium is specifically for completing the 100-hour work component. You can opt out of the work component.

I applied 6 months ago but no work assignment given. Am I still getting the allowance?

Check your bank account — the ₹3,000 allowance should be credited even without a work assignment. Contact the Employment Department at hreyahs.gov.in for work assignment status.

How long will the scheme run?

The Saksham Yuva scheme has been running since 2016. Check the current year's notification for any changes in amount or eligibility at hreyahs.gov.in.
