Madhya Pradesh Samagra Samajik Suraksha Vridh Ashram Mai Ant-vasi Pension Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

Many elderly people living in old age homes do not have any personal source of income and often struggle to manage small day-to-day expenses. To provide financial support and improve their dignity and independence, the Government of Madhya Pradesh launched the Samagra Samajik Suraksha Vriddhashram Mai Ant-vasi Pension Yojana in 2016.

Under this scheme, senior citizens aged 60 years or above who are residing in department-recognized old age homes receive a monthly pension of ₹600 directly in their bank account. The scheme helps beneficiaries manage their basic personal needs and offers social security support during old age.

People looking for pension and social security support can also explore schemes such as the Madhya Pradesh Old Age Pension Scheme, which provides monthly pension to elderly citizens living below the poverty line, the Madhya Pradesh Mukhyamantri Kalyani Pension Scheme for widowed women, and the Madhya Pradesh Mukhyamantri Avivahita Pension Yojana for unmarried women who require financial assistance and social support.
