Welfare schemes of Haryana are part of the Haryana General Knowledge section in HSSC CET. Questions typically test your knowledge of scheme names, launch years, eligibility criteria, benefits offered, and the target beneficiary groups. Haryana has been a pioneer state for several flagship schemes—most notably Beti Bachao Beti Padhao, which was launched nationally from Panipat in 2015.
Key ideas
- Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP): Centrally-sponsored scheme launched by PM Modi from Panipat (22 January 2015); aims to improve child sex ratio, ensure girl child education, and prevent gender-based discrimination.
- Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana: Savings scheme for girl child linked with BBBP; minimum deposit ₹250/year, matures 21 years after the account is opened, offers tax benefits under Section 80C.
- Saksham Yuva Yojana: Launched in 2016 to provide unemployment allowance to educated youth; graduates get ₹2,000/month and post-graduates ₹3,500/month (revised in August 2024; earlier ₹1,500 and ₹3,000); beneficiaries must have 10+2 or higher qualification and family income below ₹3 lakh/year.
- Mukhyamantri Vivah Shagun Yojana: Financial assistance at the time of marriage of ₹71,000 for daughters of SC, Vimukta Jati and Tapriwas families and ₹51,000 for daughters of backward-class families (income up to ₹1.80 lakh); women sportspersons and some other groups also get ₹51,000; amount varies by category.
- Ayushman Bharat – Chirayu Haryana: State extension of Ayushman Bharat providing health coverage up to ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalization.
Watch out for
- Confusing BBBP launch location with other states → BBBP was launched nationally from Panipat, Haryana (not Delhi or Jhunjhunu, Rajasthan—Jhunjhunu is where its pan-India expansion was launched on 8 March 2018).
- Mixing up Saksham Yuva allowance amounts for different qualifications → Remember the structure: 10+2 gets less, graduates get ₹2,000/month and post-graduates ₹3,500/month.
- Assuming all schemes are state-funded → BBBP and Ayushman Bharat are centrally-sponsored schemes with state participation; know the difference for questions on scheme funding.
Quick reference
- BBBP: Panipat, 22 January 2015 — improve child sex ratio, girl education.
- Saksham Yuva: ₹2,000/month — unemployed graduates (₹3,500 for post-graduates), age 21–35, income < ₹3 lakh.
- Vivah Shagun: ₹71,000 (SC/Vimukta Jati/Tapriwas) or ₹51,000 (backward classes and some other groups) — marriage assistance.
- PPP: 8-digit family ID — mandatory for all state welfare scheme benefits.
- Chirayu Haryana: ₹5 lakh — health cover per family per year.
