“Since its inception, the Sambal Scheme has provided benefits worth over Rs 7,000 crore to 7,60,866 cases. More than 1.77 crore workers have been registered under the Sambal Scheme in the state, and the registration process is also going on continuously. Today, Rs 175 crores have been transferred in the accounts of 7953 beneficiaries through a single click,” CM Yadav said.

The CM further said, “Gig and platform workers in the state have also been included under the ‘Sambal Yojana’ and receive all benefits under the scheme. I believe this Sambal Yojana is a great support for our life in the true sense, and that is why it is named Sambal (support). I extend my greetings to all the families that benefited today.”
Additionally, under the Sambal Scheme, female workers also receive Rs 16,000 as maternity assistance, while the children of workers are supported under the Higher Education Incentive Scheme, where the state government bears the full tuition fees for college-level education.
