Haryana Foreign Language Training Scheme: Haryana's Foreign Language Training and Certification Scheme 2026 is now open for registrations, and it is one of the most useful skill support schemes for young people in the state right now. Run by HKRNL (Haryana Kaushal Rozgar Nigam Limited), the scheme helps youth aged 18 to 45 years learn in-demand foreign languages like German, Japanese, French, Spanish, or Italian and get their training and exam fees reimbursed by the government. If your family income is below ₹6 lakh per year and you have cleared Class 10, you are already eligible to apply.
Under this scheme, the government offers two types of financial support. First, a training fee reimbursement of up to ₹10,000 paid after you pass the language certification exam. Second, a 100% reimbursement of the certification exam fee up to ₹20,000 per level per language. There is no application fee and no selection exam. You just need to register on the HKRNL portal, enroll in an approved course, clear it, and then claim your reimbursement. Awareness of this scheme is still low across the state, which means early applicants have a real advantage.

- Haryana resident: You must be a verified resident of Haryana with a valid Parivar Pehchan Patra (Family ID / PPP). This is the primary document used to check your domicile status.
- Age: Your age must be between 18 and 45 years at the time of application. This is a wide bracket that also covers working adults and homemakers who want to re-enter the job market.

- Income: Your family's annual income from all sources must be ₹6 lakh or less, as verified through the Family ID records.
- HKRNL registration: You must be registered on the official HKRNL portal at hkrnl.itiharyana.gov.in before applying for the scheme.
Languages Covered Under the Scheme
The scheme covers foreign languages that have strong demand in international job markets, especially for overseas placement in industries like manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, and engineering. Currently, the languages included are German, Japanese, French, Spanish, Italian, and English certification courses like IELTS and TOEFL. Candidates can pursue multiple levels of a single language, and the reimbursement applies separately for each level passed.
Documents Required
When registering and later when claiming reimbursement, keep all these documents ready in scanned or digital form:
- Parivar Pehchan Patra (Family ID / PPP) - for domicile and income verification
- Aadhaar card - for identity and age verification
- Class 10 mark-sheet - proof of minimum educational qualification
- Bank passbook (Aadhaar-linked account) - for DBT reimbursement directly to your account
- Course enrollment proof - proof that you joined an approved language training programme
- Fee payment receipt - digital proof of payment for training and exam fees (must not be a cash receipt)
- Certification exam result - official pass certificate from the language board or institute
Why Haryana Foreign Language Training Scheme Matters for Youth
HKRNL, which now functions as a registered overseas recruitment agency, approved this scheme at its 12th Board meeting chaired by Chief Secretary Anurag Rastogi. The scheme is directly connected to Haryana's goal of sending its youth to international jobs, particularly in countries like Germany, Japan, Israel, and the Gulf region where language skills open doors to better-paying roles. With international placement becoming more competitive, a certified foreign language skill can make a real difference. And since the government is paying back most of the cost after you clear the exam, the financial risk for candidates is very low.
FAQ's
Is there any selection test or competition to apply for this scheme?
No. This is a welfare and skill development scheme, not a job recruitment. Any eligible candidate who registers on the HKRNL portal and follows the process can get the reimbursement after clearing the language certification exam. There is no entrance test or merit list.
When will the reimbursement be paid?
The reimbursement is paid after you successfully pass the language certification exam. You must apply for reimbursement on the HKRNL portal with all required documents. The amount is sent directly to your Aadhaar-linked bank account via DBT.
Can someone pursue multiple languages under this scheme?
Yes, candidates can pursue multiple languages and also multiple levels of a single language. The reimbursement of up to ₹20,000 for certification exam fees applies separately for each level and each language passed.
What if I pay training fees in cash?
Cash payments are not valid for reimbursement claims. Always pay fees through bank transfer, UPI, net banking, or demand draft and keep the transaction receipt. This is the most common mistake candidates make, and it results in losing their reimbursement eligibility.
What is the last date to apply?
No fixed last date has been declared yet. However, the scheme has a limited pilot batch of 100 candidates, so it is strongly suggested to register and enroll as soon as possible before the slots are filled.
