Mukhyamantri Madad Yojana Madhya Pradesh 2026: Free Ration for Tribal Families on Birth and Death, Eligibility and Apply Process

Madhya Pradesh government is running Mukhyamantri Madad Yojana for Scheduled Tribe families in the state, and registration for it keeps happening throughout the year at the Gram Panchayat level. Under this scheme a tribal family gets 50 kg of wheat or rice plus cooking utensils when a child is born, and 1 quintal (100 kg) of wheat or rice when a family member passes away. All of it is free.

Tribal Affairs Department of Madhya Pradesh started this scheme on 2 October 2019, and it is still running in 2026. Every village also gets ₹25,000 in the Gram Panchayat Secretary's bank account so that utensils can be bought locally for new mothers. There is no cash payment here, the help comes as grains and goods.

Mukhyamantri Madad Yojana 2026 Details

Idea behind this scheme is simple. Birth and death are the two moments when a poor tribal household spends the most and earns the least. Food runs short. So instead of giving money that can get spent elsewhere, the state gives food grains straight from the fair price shop attached to the village, along with utensils for the household.

Take an example. Ramesh lives in a village in Dindori and nobody in his family has a government job. When his first child is born, the Gram Panchayat Secretary registers the birth and marks his family under this scheme. Ramesh then takes the help receipt to the ration shop and collects 50 kg of grain. Same thing happens if an elder in his family dies, only the quantity goes up to 1 quintal.

Scheme Highlights

How to Apply for Mukhyamantri Madad Yojana

There is no separate online form that a family fills on its own. Whole process goes through the Gram Panchayat Secretary, who does the entry on the SPR Samagra portal at the time of birth or death registration. Steps are given below.

STEP 1 - Go to your Gram Panchayat office during working hours and meet the Gram Panchayat Secretary (Sachiv). Tell him about the birth or the death in the family and say that you want the benefit under Mukhyamantri Madad Yojana.

STEP 2 - Hand over copies of your documents, mainly the family Samagra ID, caste certificate, Aadhaar card and the domicile certificate. Keep the original papers with you for checking.

STEP 3 - Secretary logs in to the SPR Samagra portal with his own login and opens either the birth registration or the death registration section, as per your case.

STEP 4 - He enters your family Samagra ID, fills the details of the child or of the person who has died, and ticks the box marked for Mukhyamantri Madad Yojana benefit.

STEP 5 - Form gets submitted and the portal generates a help receipt (madad parchi). Collect this signed receipt from the Secretary before leaving the office.

STEP 6 - Take that receipt to the fair price shop (Uchit Mulya ki Dukan) linked with your Gram Panchayat and collect the grain. Utensils are given at the Panchayat level from the ₹25,000 kept for each village.
