AI SummaryMadhya Pradesh Transport Department is running the scholarship benefit of Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme 2015, and registered commercial drivers, conductors and their children can apply for it through the district transport office. Money help for school and college studies is given as per the rules of the concerned department, and the scheme covers SC, ST, OBC and poor general category families of the state.
Registration on the Samagra portal is the first condition here. Without a Samagra Family ID and Member ID, the application does not move ahead. As of August 2026, the scheme rules of 2015 are still in force and no new benefit amount or separate online portal has been notified by the department.
Motor Vehicle Driver-Conductor Welfare Scheme Scholarship 2026 Details
This scholarship is one part of a bigger welfare package for commercial drivers and conductors in Madhya Pradesh. Other parts of the same scheme cover treatment costs, accident insurance, self-employment loans and awards for good drivers. Study support was added so that children of drivers and conductors do not drop out due to money problems.
Drivers do long duty hours and their income keeps changing month to month. School fees, hostel charges, books, exam fees, all of it adds up. This benefit gives some cushion for that. The amount is not fixed in the scheme document. It follows the scholarship rules of the department under which the student falls, so two students may get different amounts.

How to Get Samagra Registration Done

STEP 2 - Enter your Aadhaar number, then verify the OTP that comes on the mobile number linked with Aadhaar.
STEP 3 - Fill in the family and member details asked on the form, upload the scanned documents, enter the captcha and submit. Note down the Samagra Family ID and Member ID that you get.
STEP 4 - If doing it online is a problem, walk into a Lok Seva Kendra, an MP Online kiosk or a Common Service Centre with your Aadhaar and get the registration done there.
