In Chhattisgarh, thousands of construction workers build the homes, roads, bridges and cities that everyone else uses every day. They work in heat, dust and difficult conditions, often far from their own villages. The Mukhyamantri Naunihaal Chhatravritti Yojana exists for these families. Yet when it comes to their own children’s education, many of these families face the same hard question again and again: where will the money for fees, books, uniform and other study costs come from? A child may be bright and keen to study, but a shortage of money can slow down or even stop that education midway.
To reduce this burden, the Government of Chhattisgarh runs a special scholarship scheme for the children of registered construction workers. It is called the Mukhyamantri Naunihaal Chhatravritti Yojana. It is meant for families in which a parent is registered as a construction worker, and its purpose is simple: no child of a construction worker should have to drop out of studies only because the family cannot afford the cost of education.
This article explains the scheme in simple language from start to finish. First, we will look at what the scheme is and which board runs it. Then we will explain the eligibility rules, so you can check at the outset whether your family qualifies. After that, we will cover the scholarship amount, the documents you should keep ready, the full step-by-step online application process through the Shramev Jayate Portal, and how to check the status of your application. Finally, we will discuss renewal, common mistakes, and answers to frequently asked questions, so that you can apply without avoidable errors.
If you are a registered construction worker in Chhattisgarh, or if someone in your family is, read this article carefully till the end. The details here will help you from preparing your application to tracking it after submission.
What is the Mukhyamantri Naunihaal Chhatravritti Yojana
The Mukhyamantri Naunihaal Chhatravritti Yojana is a scheme of the Chhattisgarh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, which works under the Labour Department of the Government of Chhattisgarh. The scheme was launched on 4 March 2010. Its aim is to give financial support for education to the children of registered construction workers, so that they can continue their studies.
One of the strongest features of this scheme is its wide coverage. It is not limited to one or two classes. It covers education from Class 1 all the way up to PhD and research-level courses. This means that whether a child is in primary school, secondary school, college, or doing research, the child can fall within the scope of the scheme, provided the other eligibility conditions are met.
The scholarship is paid on an annual basis. That is why it is important to understand the application cycle and the last date for each academic year. Later in this article, we explain the annual deadline and the renewal point in detail.
It is also important to check the exact name of the scheme before applying. Chhattisgarh runs other schemes for construction workers and their daughters with similar-sounding names, but with different benefits. We have added a short note near the end of this article to help you avoid confusion between these schemes.

Who is Eligible: Eligibility Conditions
The first and most important condition is registration. The parent of the child must be a construction worker registered with the Chhattisgarh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board. If the worker is not registered, an application under this scheme cannot be made. Before applying, check that the registration is active and that the details on it are correct.
The second condition relates to days of work. The worker must have completed a minimum of 90 days of construction work in the year before the date of application. This condition exists so that the benefit reaches families of workers who are actually working in construction. If the work-days condition is not met, the application may face problems, so it is better to clarify this point in advance.
The third condition relates to the number of children. The scholarship is for the first two children of the worker. This means that only the first two children in the family are eligible under this scheme. The scheme does not extend to a third child. Keep this in mind while preparing the application.
The fourth condition relates to study. The child must be studying in a recognised course from Class 1 up to PhD or research level. Whatever the level of study, the child should be a regular student. A certificate from the school, college or institution, such as a bonafide certificate, may be asked for as proof that studies are continuing.
The fifth point is a relief for many families: there is no minimum marks requirement under this scheme. Many scholarships ask for a fixed percentage of marks, but this scheme does not. If the child has passed and is continuing studies, low marks alone should not block the application. Even so, always check the latest conditions shown on the portal at the time of applying, because rules can change over time.
One more practical point is consistency of details. The information about the worker and the child must match across documents. A spelling difference in a name, a wrong date of birth, or an incorrect registration number can hold up an application. Before filling the form, keep all documents in one place and compare the details carefully.
How Much Scholarship is Given: Amount Range Explained
Under this scheme, the scholarship is paid every year. The amount depends on the gender of the child and the level of study. For boys, the annual amount ranges from Rs 1,000 to Rs 8,000 per year. For girls, the annual amount ranges from Rs 1,500 to Rs 10,000 per year. At every level, girls receive more than boys. This difference is meant to give extra encouragement to the education of daughters.
One point must be stated clearly here. This article gives only the amount RANGE. We have not given a separate amount for each class or course, because a class-wise amount table was not verified in this research. The exact amount depends on the class or course, as per the schedule of the board. Before applying, check the official Shramev Jayate Portal or the latest schedule of the board for the amount fixed for your child’s class or course.
| Category | Annual scholarship range |
|---|---|
| Boys | Rs 1,000 to Rs 8,000 per year |
| Girls | Rs 1,500 to Rs 10,000 per year |
As a general understanding, the amount is lower in the early classes and higher in higher classes and higher education. But this is only a general pattern. The amount for any particular class will be known only from the board’s fixed schedule. Do not rely on a figure told by any individual; treat the official portal as the correct source.
The scholarship is usually sent directly to the bank account of the beneficiary. That makes correct bank details very important. Fill the account number, IFSC and account holder name exactly. If the account is closed or the details are wrong, the payment can get stuck.
Documents Required for Application
While applying, some documents are usually asked for. The list below is a general preparation list. For the actual and latest list, always check the scheme page on the Shramev Jayate Portal before applying, because the list of documents can change.
- Worker registration card or registration number, as proof that the worker is registered with the board.
- Aadhaar card of the worker and the child, for identity.
- Certificate from the child’s school, college or institution, such as a bonafide certificate or proof that studies are continuing.
- Mark sheet or pass proof of the previous class, where applicable.
- Bank account details, such as a copy of the passbook or the account number and IFSC.
- Passport-size photograph, where asked for on the portal.
- Caste or residence proof, if asked for in the form or on the portal.
- Record of 90 days of work or work proof as per the board, where applicable.
Scanned copies of documents should be clear and readable. A blurred photo or a cut-off scan can delay the application. Keep all documents ready in one folder before you start filling the form, so that you do not have to search for them again and again.
How to Apply Online: Step-by-Step Guide on the Shramev Jayate Portal
Applications for this scheme are made through the Shramev Jayate Portal of the Government of Chhattisgarh. The steps below describe the general online process. Button names and page layouts on the portal may vary slightly, so read the instructions shown on the portal at each step.
- Open the portal: On your mobile or computer, open shramevjayate.cg.gov.in. On the homepage, look for the section related to schemes of the Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board.
- Select the scheme: In the list of schemes, find Mukhyamantri Naunihaal Chhatravritti Yojana and click on it. Match the full name carefully, so that you do not apply under the wrong scheme.
- Login or register: If you are already registered on the portal, login with your login details. If you are new, complete the registration process first and create a login ID.
- Open the application form: Choose the option to apply under the scheme. In the form, fill the worker registration number, the child’s name, class or course, name of the school or institution, and bank account details.
- Check the details: Before submitting, read every detail again. Spelling of names, registration number, class and bank account number must be free of errors. This is the most important step.
- Upload documents: Upload clear scanned copies of the documents asked for. The file size and format should follow the rules shown on the portal.
- Submit the form: After checking everything, submit the form. Keep the application number or receipt that you receive after submission. This number will be needed later to check the status.
- Save the receipt: Take a screenshot or print of the application receipt and keep it safe. If any information is asked for later, this receipt will be useful.
If you face a technical problem while applying online, do not fill wrong details in a hurry. Open the portal again and check, or take help from the nearest labour office or Common Service Centre. Never share your login details or OTP with any unknown person.
How to Check Application Status
After submitting the application, checking its status is just as important as applying. The Shramev Jayate Portal usually has a separate page for checking application status. During research, the status page pattern /Public/SchemeApplicationStatus_BOC.aspx was reported, but the live loading of the portal could not be separately confirmed while writing this article. So instead of relying directly on that address, first open the portal homepage and find the official status-check link from there.
- Open the homepage of the Shramev Jayate Portal.
- Find the option related to application status or Scheme Application Status.
- Enter your application number and the other details asked for.
- Check whether the application is pending, approved, or shows any shortcoming.
- If any shortcoming is shown, complete it in time and check the status again.
If the status does not change for a long time, contact the board or labour office with your application number. Always keep the application number and receipt with you when making any enquiry.
Renewal: Why a Fresh Application Matters Every Year
This scholarship is given on an annual basis, and the last date for application in every academic year is 31 December. This means that after receiving the benefit for one year, you need to understand the application process again for the next year of study. Each year, the application will involve the child’s new class or new course, a fresh bonafide certificate, and updated details.
At renewal time, check that the worker registration is still active and that the 90 days of work condition is being met. If the registration has not been renewed, first correct the registration status, then apply for the scholarship. Do not wait for the last date. In the final days, the portal may face heavy traffic, and a missing document can leave the application incomplete.
Common Mistakes to Avoid While Applying
- Applying under the wrong scheme, because the names sound similar. Check the full name carefully.
- Entering a wrong or old worker registration number.
- Writing the child’s name with a spelling different from the school record.
- Entering a wrong bank account number or IFSC.
- Uploading blurred or incomplete documents.
- Not keeping the application number and receipt safe.
- Waiting till the last date and then failing to apply because of a portal problem.
By avoiding these small mistakes, you can complete your application faster and correctly. If any detail is not clear, do not fill the form on guesswork. First check the official portal or ask the labour office.
Please Note: This Scheme is Different from These Two Schemes
Chhattisgarh has two other schemes with similar-sounding names, but their benefits and amounts are different. The first is the Mukhyamantri Noni Sashaktikaran Sahayata Yojana, under which a one-time assistance of Rs 20,000 is given for the first two unmarried daughters. The second is the Mukhyamantri Noni Babu Medhavi Shiksha Sahayata Yojana, under which a merit incentive of Rs 2 lakh is mentioned.
Both of these schemes are different from the Naunihaal Chhatravritti Yojana. If anyone confuses the amounts of these schemes with this scholarship, be careful. Always trust the full name of the scheme and the information given on the official portal.
