This scheme is launched by the Government of Madhya Pradesh mainly for:
• Orphan children
• Kids who have lost both parents
• Or those who have left Child Care Institutions (aftercare cases) and are 18+ but still need support to settle in life.

So yes, it’s not just for kids in govt homes – but also for those who are trying to build life after they leave institutional care.
