Mukhyamantree Baal Aasheervaad Yojana(MBAY)
Overview
About MBAY
Mukhyamantree Baal Aasheervaad Yojana is a Madhya Pradesh government scheme for orphaned children and for young people leaving the state's child care institutions. The Women and Child Development Department runs it, and applications are handled through the State Child Protection Society's portal by district child protection officers.
The scheme works along two lines. One is aftercare, which gives financial and educational support to care leavers above 18 as they move out of child care institutions and settle into adult life. The other is sponsorship, a monthly payment for orphaned children up to 18 who live with a relative or guardian instead of in an institution.
That makes it a composite benefit, part cash assistance and part help with education and training, directed at two groups the state has taken on as its responsibility: children who have lost their parents, and care leavers stepping into adulthood.
