Schemes for persons with disabilities (Divyangjan)
These schemes support persons with disabilities towards independence and dignity — through disability pensions, scholarships, assistive devices and aids, skill training, self-employment loans, and accessibility support. Many are anchored to a UDID (Unique Disability ID) card, which serves as single proof of disability across schemes and saves you producing certificates again and again.
If you or a family member has a disability, getting the UDID card is usually the most useful first step, as it unlocks several benefits at once. Eligibility often depends on the type and percentage of disability certified by a medical board. Browse the schemes below and use the checker to find the central and state support you qualify for.
