RanchiJharkhand government’s Swami Vivekananda Nishakta Swavlamban Protsahan Yojana (SVNSPY) provides a monthly pension of ₹1,000 to eligible differently-abled residents, aiming to boost financial independence and dignity among vulnerable groups.

Who Qualifies?

  • Permanent residents of Jharkhand aged 5 years or older with benchmark disabilities as defined under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016
  • Individuals not receiving pensions from other central or state schemes
  • Applicants must hold a valid disability certificate issued by a District Medical Board and come from a family with no member employed in any government aided institution

Seamless Direct Benefit Transfer

The pension amount is disbursed via Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) directly into the beneficiary’s bank account, ensuring transparency and reducing delays.

Application Process & Required Documents

To enroll, applicants must submit forms available at local BDO or SDO offices, along with:

  • Disability certificate
  • Age proof
  • Aadhaar card
  • Voter ID (if over 18)
  • Bank passbook copy

Inclusion of Sickle Cell Patients

In Khunti district, the scheme has been extended to persons with severe sickle cell anemia (≥40%), following diagnostic screening for over 99,000 individuals. Initial pensions have been disbursed to nine identified beneficiaries.

Awareness & Beneficiary Verification

Despite its impact, awareness remains limited—half the state’s population reportedly remains uninformed about SVNSPY. Authorities are actively verifying eligible beneficiaries and encouraging online/offline registration to include missed applicants.

Why It Matters

SVNSPY aligns with Jharkhand’s broader social security goals—offering financial support to differently-abled residents excluded from other schemes. It strengthens social inclusion and helps address gaps in accessing care and livelihood.
