About this social welfare scheme
"Uttar Pradesh Mukhyamantri Bal Seva Yojana (General)" scheme provides financial assistance to children in Uttar Pradesh who face various hardships.
Recognizing the importance of a safe and nurturing environment for children's development, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Bal Seva Yojana (General) steps in.
