AI SummaryHaryana government is running Financial Assistance to Non-School Going Disabled Children Scheme in 2026 under Social Justice and Empowerment Department. Families with a disabled child aged 0 to 18 years who cannot attend school because of the condition now get ₹2400 per month for every such child in the same house.
Amount was raised from ₹2150 to ₹2400 per month with effect from January 2024, and the same rate continues in 2026. Parents can apply online through Antyodaya-SARAL portal or offline at the District Social Welfare Officer (DSWO) office. Once the child turns 18, the case moves to Haryana Handicapped Pension Scheme so cash support does not stop in adulthood.
Financial Assistance to Non-School Going Disabled Children Scheme 2026 Details
Scheme was launched by Haryana government in 2008-09 for children with mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, multiple disabilities, or severe orthopedic conditions. These children are fully dependent on parents or close relatives for daily care, and most cannot go to any formal school or training centre.
Because parents often have to stay at home to look after the child, family income also gets hit. To reduce this money problem, Social Justice and Empowerment Department pays a fixed monthly amount directly into the parent's bank account through DBT. If two or more children in one family qualify, each of them gets a separate payment of ₹2400 per month.
