Madhya Pradesh government is continuing Awas Sahayta Yojana for 100% hearing and visually impaired students admitted in special trades at selected Industrial Training Institutes. Official scheme guidelines available on the Social Justice and Disabled Persons Empowerment Department website still show housing support of up to ₹4,000 per month for eligible students who study away from home.
Students who stay in an institute hostel can get up to ₹2,000 per month for food and day to day living costs. Public sources checked on 03 August 2026 did not show a fresh benefit revision or closure notice for this scheme, so the details below are based on the live department guideline PDF and currently reachable department pages.
Awas Sahayta Yojana for Hearing and Visually Impaired ITI Students
This scheme is for students with 100% hearing impairment or 100% visual impairment who are studying in notified special trades of Industrial Training Institutes in Madhya Pradesh. The main aim is simple. Students should be able to continue technical training without too much pressure from rent, food, and hostel costs.
Available public details still point to support in seven divisional ITIs, including centres in Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, Rewa, Jabalpur, Sagar, and Gwalior. Payment is linked with admission, attendance, and local verification through the institute and district department office.

Benefit amount and how payment works
Students who live outside their home town for training can get up to ₹4,000 per month toward food and accommodation. Students who stay in a hostel arranged through the institute can get up to ₹2,000 per month for food and similar costs.
Existing scheme details also say the amount is paid for the approved training period of the course. The draft article already had this broad structure, and no public 2026 source checked during this update showed a new amount or a new replacement scheme for this specific benefit.
Payment is linked with attendance and institute level checks. Public scheme material also says rent should be paid through an account payee cheque where private rented accommodation is used.
Who can apply
Basic eligibility still appears to stay focused on disability status, training admission, and non-duplication of support. Check these points carefully before starting the form.
- Student should be admitted in an Industrial Training Institute in the notified special trades covered under the scheme.
- Student should have a valid certificate showing 100% hearing impairment or 100% visual impairment.
- Student should not be getting the same type of support from another government department for the same purpose.
- Student should meet institute and district verification conditions related to attendance, residence, and local checks.
Publicly available article material and the live guideline link also indicate that a declaration from parent or guardian may be needed in cases where the family does not stay in the same city or division as the training institute. Students should confirm this point with the ITI Principal at the time of submission.
How to apply
Current public evidence does not support the old "online application" wording used in the draft. The reachable official scheme PDF points to a form based process routed through the institute and department offices.
STEP 1 - Download the official scheme guideline or application form material and read the conditions carefully. Fill in student details, disability details, course details, residence details, and bank details exactly as recorded in your documents.
STEP 2 - Attach the required papers such as disability certificate, admission proof, identity and address papers, bank details, and any guardian or landlord declaration asked by the institute. If you stay in rented accommodation, keep rent related papers ready as well.
STEP 3 - Submit the completed form to the Principal of the Industrial Training Institute. Institute officials may check admission status, attendance, conduct, and whether the course and student fall under the covered category.
STEP 4 - After institute verification, the case is forwarded to the district level office of the Social Justice and Disabled Persons Empowerment Department for approval and payment action.
STEP 5 - Keep checking with the institute office for any objection, missing paper, or attendance issue. No separate public 2026 deadline was found during this update, so students should apply soon after admission and confirm the local submission timeline from the ITI Principal.
Required documents
Document checks can differ a little by institute and district office, but the following papers are commonly mentioned in the existing article and related public scheme material.
- Passport size photograph of the student.
- Disability certificate showing 100% hearing impairment or 100% visual impairment.
- Admission proof from the Industrial Training Institute and course details.
- Residence proof, age proof, and identity proof such as Aadhaar.
- Bank account details linked for payment.
- Income certificate, caste certificate, Samagra ID, and previous mark sheet if asked by the institute or department.
- Landlord consent, rent paper, affidavit, or parent or guardian declaration where applicable.
