Lucknow. The Yogi Adityanath government of Uttar Pradesh is continuously working for the upliftment of persons affected by Divyang empowerment and leprosy. Due to the transparency and timeliness of the Yogi government, financial assistance is being provided to millions of needy under the reflection pension scheme and disabled maintenance grant scheme, which is becoming an example of the state’s social welfare policies.
Divyang people are getting the benefit of timely schemes
3,000 rupees per month is being given to each beneficiary under the reflection pension scheme operated for persons disabled due to leprosy. In the last three years, 34,994 leprosy got the benefit of the scheme, while 12,692 beneficiaries were paid from the Aadhaar-based system in the first quarter of the financial year 2025-26. In this sequence, 30,86,102 disabled people have been given a pension of Rs 1,000 per month per month under the Divyang Maintenance Grant Scheme. In the first quarter of this financial year, this amount was directly transferred to 11,32,240 Divyangs to their bank accounts.
Yogi government is giving benefits of schemes by simplifying beneficiary eligibility
The Aadhaar-based payment system has made these schemes transparent and timely, which has eliminated the possibility of misuse of money. Eligibility assessment has been simplified through online application and public facility centers, which have BPL income limit and medical certificate basis. This step is not only improving the standard of living of leprosy and disabled, but is also helpful in reducing discrimination in society. Backward Classes Welfare and Divyang Empowerment Minister (Independent Charge) Narendra Kashyap said that self -reliance and honor of Divyang and leprosy is in the priorities of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The goal of the Yogi government is to bring these communities into the mainstream and strengthen their economic status. The government is providing benefits of schemes to the differently abled with time -bound and complete transparency.
