Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (DAYALU-II) gives financial support to eligible Haryana residents in case of accidental death or permanent disability caused by stray cattle or animal bites. The scheme offers structured compensation based on the age of the victim, so grieving families or disabled individuals can manage sudden money problems.
In November 2025, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini launched a new digital portal for DAYALU-II to make claim filing faster and payments more accurate. With the new interface, eligible families receive the money directly into their bank accounts through the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) system.
Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (DAYALU-II) - Introduction
Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Antyodaya Parivar Suraksha Yojana (DAYALU-II) is a scheme run by the Planning Department, Haryana Government. Its main aim is to give financial relief to local families who face the tragedy of accidental death or permanent disability due to roaming stray cattle and wild animals, such as cows, bulls, oxen, donkeys, dogs, mules, nilgais, and buffaloes.
The scheme works under the guidance of the Haryana Parivar Suraksha Nyas (HPSN). The money given follows a tiered structure based on the age of the person at the time of the incident, so support reaches those who need it most.
