Sambal Yojana MP (Jan Kalyan): Benefits, Eligibility & How to Apply

The Mukhyamantri Jan Kalyan (Sambal) Yojana is a comprehensive welfare scheme by the Government of Madhya Pradesh for unorganised sector workers. It provides a safety net covering accidental insurance, education support, funeral assistance, power bill subsidy, and more — all through a single Sambal Card.

The scheme covers workers such as street vendors, construction labourers, rickshaw pullers, domestic workers, and other daily-wage earners who are BPL card holders.
