Minimata Mahtari Jatan Yojana is a maternity welfare scheme run by the Chhattisgarh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board under the Labour Department of the Chhattisgarh government. It gives a one-time lump sum grant of ₹20,000 to registered female construction workers after the birth of their child. The amount is transferred directly into the beneficiary's bank account through RTGS, NEFT, or DBT, and no repayment is required.
The scheme was launched on 4 March 2010 and was earlier known as Bhagini Prasuti Sahayata Yojana. The Board renamed it Minimata Mahtari Jatan Yojana in 2021. The benefit is available only for the first two children, and the worker must be registered with the Board for at least one year before the date of delivery.
Many poor families struggle to manage the cost of delivery and the care needed by the mother and the newborn. This scheme helps registered women construction workers cover those expenses so that both mother and child get proper nutrition and medical attention. The money is paid after the birth of the child, and the application must be submitted within 90 days of the delivery.
