Chhattisgarh Atal Career Nirman Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

Chhattisgarh Atal Career Nirman Yojana is a special educational assistance scheme launched by the Chhattisgarh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board to help the children of registered construction workers pursue Engineering and Medical education. Under this scheme, eligible students are provided free coaching for competitive entrance examinations such as JEE Main, JEE Advanced, CGPET, and NEET-UG, enabling them to compete for admission to reputed colleges and institutions. The scheme aims to improve access to quality higher education for labour families and create better career opportunities for their children.

The Chhattisgarh Government and the Welfare Board operate several welfare schemes for the children of registered construction workers to support their education, sports, and overall development. Along with Atal Career Nirman Yojana, the department also runs schemes such as Utkrast Khel Protsahan Yojana and Mukhyamantri Noni Babu Medhavi Shiksha Sahayata Yojana to promote higher education, sports excellence, talent development, and better career opportunities for students belonging to labour families.

Under the Atal Career Nirman Yojana, selected students can receive free residential or non-residential coaching for up to one year. The scheme provides free coaching, study material, and other academic support facilities to help students prepare for competitive entrance examinations. Students enrolled in residential coaching programmes receive free hostel accommodation and meal facilities throughout the coaching period. In addition, eligible non-residential beneficiaries residing in rented accommodation may receive monthly financial assistance of ₹5,000 through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), subject to the prescribed eligibility and attendance requirements. To improve access to quality coaching, coaching centres are established at divisional headquarters across the state, and up to 75% of the available seats are earmarked for residential coaching programmes.

The scheme also gives special emphasis to girls' education, with 50% of the available seats reserved for female students. Seat allotment is carried out according to the reservation policy applicable in the state. Applications under the Atal Career Nirman Yojana are accepted through online mode, generally between May and June. Eligible students are selected based on merit, Class 12 examination marks, seat availability, reservation provisions, and counselling conducted by the authorities.

The benefit of Atal Career Building Scheme is available to the first two children of registered construction workers whose registration with the Welfare Board is at least one year old.
