Overview
The Mukhyamantri Anusuchit Jaati Vishesh Pariyojana Vitt Poshan Yojana is a grant programme of the Tribal Welfare and Scheduled Caste Welfare Department, Government of Madhya Pradesh. It funds special project proposals that are meant to serve the Scheduled Caste (SC) community within the state.
Approved projects receive a 100% grant, so the scheme is built to meet the entire cost of the proposal rather than asking the applicant to put in a matching share or pay anything back later.
The scheme's stated purpose is to strengthen welfare work, lift living standards and open up development opportunities for SC families across different sectors of the state's economy. Rather than publishing a fixed sector list, it judges each proposal against the scheme's own objectives and the norms of the line department that would handle that kind of work.
Everything runs offline through the district administration. There is no fixed closing date, so applications can be taken up on a rolling basis, and the entry point for an applicant is the office of the Chief Executive Officer, District Panchayat.
