How to Apply for Jeevanam Self-Employment Scheme — ₹20,000 Grant for Kerala Crime Victims

Applications are first screened for eligibility. This check covers the applicant's Kerala native and resident status, whether they are a seriously injured crime victim or a dependent of one, the family's annual income against the ₹1,00,000 limit, and whether the application was filed within 5 years of the crime.

Those that clear the screening then go through a review by the Department of Social Justice. The review weighs the applicant's need and how suitable the self-employment assistance is for their circumstances.

The published details do not spell out a selection committee, interview rounds or a scoring method. What follows is administrative verification, intended to make sure the aid reaches people who genuinely qualify and can use it to rebuild a livelihood.
