Madhya Pradesh Shaurya Sankalp Parshikshan Yojana

Scheme Introduction: A Brief Overview

The Madhya Pradesh government launches the Shaurya Sankalp Parshikshan Yojana 2026 to empower economically weaker OBC (Other Backwards Class) and BC (Backwards Class) youth across the state. The state cabinet approves this historic initiative on March 23, 2026, under Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav's leadership to prepare eligible youth for careers in the armed forces, police, home guard, and private security agencies.

The scheme's name carries profound meaning: Shaurya means bravery, Sankalp means determination, and Parshikshan means training. This combination offers deserving OBC and BC youth a genuine opportunity to serve their nation in uniform.

A similar scheme was also announced by the government in 2025, called MP PARTH Yojana, which fulfils similar objectives.

Under the Shaurya Sankalp Parshikshan Yojana 2026, the state government provides 45 days of completely free residential training to qualified youth. Over the next three years, the government targets training 4,000 youth annually through this program. Women candidates receive special consideration with 35 per cent of total seats reserved exclusively for female applicants, ensuring inclusive participation and women's empowerment in security services.

In the initial phase, the government operates this scheme across 20 districts of Madhya Pradesh, establishing 40 training centers. Each district has separate training centers for male and female trainees, ensuring a safe and appropriate environment for all. The state government targets training 4,000 youths annually for three consecutive years. Once the scheme proves successful, the government plans to expand it to all districts across the state.

To ensure no youth faces financial hardship during training, the government provides monthly stipends of Rs. 1,000 for male trainees and Rs. 1,100 for female trainees throughout the training period.

The Backwards Class Welfare Department manages the entire scheme implementation with coordination from multiple government departments. Eligible applicants must submit their Shaurya Sankalp Parshikshan Yojana application form online before the deadline. The last date to submit the Shaurya Sankalp Parshikshan Yojana application is 11 May 2026.

The scheme extends beyond mere training. It aims to develop patriotism, discipline, and a sense of duty among youth. During the 45-day training period, trainees not only receive physical and intellectual training but also develop a military mindset and understanding of responsibilities. This preparation equips them for successful careers in military or police service.
